Paul Stoddard, originally from the UK, chose to settle in Tumby Bay after hearing it was a lovely town. His journey which has involved art school, many years working as a jeweller, and now playing a large part in the Tumby Bay community, has been both rewarding and challenging. Working in roles that you love but simultaneously managing pressure can be tough. Through his experiences, Paul now enjoys working with young people to teach them about the tools that can support them throughout their future.
Please be aware that this episode discusses anxiety and depression.
