My name is Matika, I’m 26 years old, and I’ve been with Key Community for many years. My journey with them first started while I was studying business and retail, and they’ve been by my side ever since.
Living with ongoing physical and mental health conditions has made finding and keeping suitable employment challenging at times. There have been periods where I’ve had to step away from work to focus on my health, including recovering from back injuries and managing my mental health. It hasn’t always been an easy road, but throughout every stage, Key Community has continued to support and encourage me.
Over the years they’ve helped me with everything from preparing my resume and interview skills to reaching out to potential employers and helping me find opportunities that suited my abilities and circumstances.
Having that ongoing support has made a huge difference to my confidence and has reminded me that I didn’t have to navigate everything on my own.
