Carly Bassinder

My love for woodwork, design and technology began at Brooksbank. What I enjoyed most was the ability to create something of my own design and shape it into a fully functional piece.

I studied Resistant Materials and Design Technology at GCSE and A Level and realised that I wanted to share my love of this subject with others. A career in teaching the subject was the best way for me to share my love, and I’ve never looked back.

Carly’s message is

“pursue your passion while keeping an eye on your future career”

"Follow your passion" is a common piece of advice, but it's important to also consider your potential future career and the qualifications that will be required.”
