I am a Registered General Health Nurse with a degree in mental health and dementia. I started my career after leaving school as a care assistant before completing my nurse training. I have worked for Zion Care since 2006 holding various home manager positions before transferring to the regional team. I have a passion for elderly care and specifically dementia care and end of life care.

There have been many highpoints in my professional career, but two of my proudest moments include, achieving Beacon status with the Gold Standards Framework for end of life care and contributing to the published NHS East and Central Lancashire best interest at end of life practical guidance. I enjoy a challenge and pride myself in promoting creative thinking in order to provide individualised care.
