Bio coming soon!
With over 40 years’ experience across the private and third sectors, I have dedicated my career to supporting adults and children with learning disabilities and neurodiverse needs. Beginning my journey as a Support Worker, I have gained extensive operational and strategic expertise through a wide range of roles, shaping my approach to leadership and quality improvement.
I am passionate about creating environments where people can truly thrive — places where every moment, and every achievement, matters. My values are rooted in dignity, opportunity and meaningful outcomes, ensuring the individuals we support experience the highest standards of care.
I hold a BA (Hons) in Health Studies, specialising in learning disabilities and the opportunities and inequalities that individuals may face. My academic and professional background continues to inform my commitment to inclusive, person‑centred practice.
I am dual‑registered with the CQC for our Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole branch, where both services under my leadership currently hold Good ratings. I am proud to lead with a focus on quality, consistency and continuous improvement across our division.
