My Story

I have 7 years experience working in residential care with the countries most challenging children. These children are from all over the UK and have of the most difficult starts in life followed by the toughest times trying to find their way forward. I remember every single child I have worked with, and feel privileged to have been part of their journey. Most recently I have joined a learning and development team, training carers to feel confident in meeting the needs of children and keeping them safe. The children I work with are aged between 10 and 17 years old and have been exposed to criminal exploitation, sexual exploitation and experienced things that no child ever should. 

I am also a mum myself to a pre teen and a step mum to two children. As a parent I understand the worries and challenges we face without judgement or prejudice, only compassion and a shared goal of empowering children to be the best version of themselves. I am a qualified coach, and possess a range of skills and tools in regard to goal setting and self awareness techniques which can be tailored to meet the needs of any challenge.

I have an advanced DBS and training in Safeguarding, de-escalation, attachment theory, risk assessment and more.
