Mentor Coordinator
About
My professional journey has been deeply rooted in a commitment to caring for others, particularly within the NHS. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience in the caring sector, to include working within a Doctors Surgery and hospital clinical wards, and care in the community, where I have learned the importance of patience, empathy, and understanding. These qualities have shown me the profound impact that compassionate care can have on someone's life, and I am driven by a desire to create a positive impact, both in my work with individuals and in supporting my colleagues.
Outside of my professional life, I have a deep appreciation for nature and animals, with a particular love for my three cats and nine chickens. Since relocating from Hemel Hempstead in 2018, I have been actively involved in transforming my property and overgrown waste land, into a beautiful, tranquil garden, filled with wildlife and the simple joys of nature. My passion for creating extends to growing organic produce, making handmade crafts, and repurposing items, particularly within my garden, where I have designed unique spaces like The Tree of Hope and Cluckingham Palace.
I am also deeply committed to supporting several charities that are close to my heart, including World Suicide Prevention Day, Veterans Foundation, and Crohn's and Colitis UK. As I continue my journey within a diverse and dynamic caring team, I am excited to bring my dedication, kindness, and creativity to Promoting Independence, working alongside colleagues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.
