About me

I have been working in the health and social care sector for 24 years, in a variety of settings.

I have worked in residential schools, with the elderly both in the community and in registered services as well as with adults with learning disabilities.

I have had numerous roles, including support worker, team leader and I joined Voyage Care as a home manager in 2012. I've been in my current role for the last four years.

I am passionate about supporting people to fulfill their potential and believe that the people we support should be at the forefront of what we do. I love my role and support my team to ensure we deliver great quality care.

I am committed, hard-working and knowledgeable and my team would describe me a supportive leader, with lots of patience and a great sense of humour.

I am a mum to four grown up children and also have two beautiful granddaughters, all of whom mean the world to me.

When I'm not working, I enjoy listening to indie music and spending time with my family and friends. I'm a great cook and hostess and every now and then I love a good book and a comedy film.

I am very much a cup half full person who sees the good in everyone.
