Sophie was diagnosed with autism just before leaving school. Due her
autism Sophie found it difficult to communicate with new people and struggled
in busy environments. When leaving school Sophie was very anxious about
entering the world of work, she explored various career options but did not feel
she had the confidence to pursue certain work choices at the moment.
As Sophie
had an interest in being a nail technician she felt this would be her best
option as she could work at her own pace and would be working one to one with
customers which would reduce her anxieties with crowded spaces. Sophie attended
a nail course in Glasgow, she worked really hard and applied her time and
energy into perfecting her unique ability for nail art design. Once Sophie
qualified as a nail technician she opened her own business!
Sophie has overcome
many barriers and developed her skills through managing the business. She has
built her confidence, time management skills, has good organisation, is
committed and has a kind and caring nature which makes her customers feel
valued and respected. Details of Sophie's business is below, please go on and
