#ALW2023 Learning Ambassador Deanie De Boer

Deanie 46, struggled throughout her school years. She found it hard to keep up with her peers and her teachers labelled her as below average academically. She never dreamed she would be able to pursue a professional career.

As an adult Deanie received a diagnosis of ADHD that explained her difficulties at school and she decided to give education another shot. After completing a Business/Administration course she got the learning bug.

Since then she’s completed an undergraduate degree, is doing her Masters and running her own business. She is testament to the power of adult education to turn lives around.
