I’ve worked within the healthcare sector for over 10 years. My background is supporting individuals living with dementia. My passion is providing extraordinary care with a person-centred approach. My ultimate aim is to ensure our residents feel safe, comfortable and their wishes and choices are respected.

I believe in open, honest and transparent relationships with residents and everyone involved in their care. I am passionate about ensuring that safe and person-centered care is delivered within the home at all times.

Having had first-hand in many positions within the care sector, from care assistant to a home manager, I have a good understanding of the challenges with the care sector. I am confident, that, as a HOU, I am able to provide support for the whole team.

I qualified as an RGN in 1996 at the University of Botswana Institute of Health Sciences. I worked in a Harvard-sponsored research laboratory in Africa, where my role was to identify patients and ensure timely collection of specimen. Then I worked in Ophthalmology doing mobile clinics in the Kalahari Desert. I then went and worked as a Senior Nurse in Scottish Livingston Hospital A&E, Paediatrics and Operation Theatre until 2004, when I came to UK and worked in 3 nursing homes as an RGN and, most recently, as a Unit Manager. My passion has always been and shall remain as promoting clinical excellence. 

My role at Beaufort Grange involves supporting the General Manager by managing the financial, recruitment and general administration system. I started at Beaufort Grange in 2014 with 11 years administration and financial experience. If you ever need any help regarding the above, my door is always open.

I am very excited to be joining the Activities Team at Beaufort Grange. I have been lucky enough to work and travel abroad for 16 months and recently finished a year working in Australia. I am keen to develop new and diverse activities to spark resident’s interest. I enjoy martial arts, rock climbing and arts and crafts.

I have been a chef and catering manager for many years, both in England and in Italy.

My ethos is simple; I believe that the food and service we provide should be on client-driven, with the emphasis on a healthy and balanced diet based on their likes and dislikes, not ours.

I recently joined Barchester and am very much looking forward to encouraging my team to strive to the best and by doing so improve the daily lives of our most important asset... our residents.

I am a Psychologist and I have worked with young autistic people and other disabilities as well. Since 2017, I’ve been working as a Housekeeping Supervisor in different Hotels across the UK. As Head Housekeeper, I work with my team to keep the home clean and tidy for the wellbeing of our residents.
