Over the years I’ve been appreciated for the way I stay calm and supportive in challenging situations, helping families and individuals feel heard and understood. I’ve had the chance to guide small teams, encouraging reflective practice and resilience, and I’ve valued the positive feedback I’ve received for creating a supportive working environment.

Working closely with schools, hospitals, police, recovery centres, and third‑sector organisations has often been noted as one of my strengths, as collaboration has consistently led to better outcomes for children, families, and adults. My safeguarding practice has been trusted across both children’s and adult services, and I’ve been relied upon to manage complex cases with care and sound judgment.

In adult services, I contributed to improvements in hospital discharge processes, helping reduce delays and ensure safe transitions for vulnerable adults. In children’s services, colleagues have recognised my commitment to making sure the voices of children with disabilities and families experiencing trauma are included in assessments and decision‑making.

I’m proud of the adaptability I’ve developed by working across both adult and children’s social work. This has given me a broader perspective and reinforced my commitment to providing compassionate, effective support wherever it’s needed.

I am a registered social worker and have undertaken a wide range of training since qualifying such as mental health awareness, conflict resolution, trauma informed practice and many more.
