I have experience working in front facing roles across higher education, apprenticeships and self-employment.

At Longleigh, I support grantees by drawing on both my professional background and lived experience. This helps me understand the challenges people face and provide practical support where it’s needed.

I’m particularly motivated by being able to support people to move forward during difficult times.

Outside of work, I studied for my degree later in life, including a period abroad. I enjoy gardening, crochet and poker, and have recently tried indoor climbing. I am also a cancer survivor.

Most importantly, I am owned by a senior black cat.
