I completed my nursing degree in 2012. I have worked in European countries since 2017 and in the UK since 2019. I completed my masters in Nursing and Leadership & Management from AIT in Ireland.

I have worked as a registered nurse since 2012. I have also acted as a nurse educator for a large number of nursing students. 

Knowing that my care, touch, voice, and time can help someone make it through the night is one of the most rewarding feelings. Sometimes, it's the little things that we do for our residents that make a difference. The nursing profession has opened so many doors for me. 

Working with the elderly allows me to learn about life and their experiences. I enjoy their appreciation for being with them and for taking care of them and they seem so grateful. I treat them the same way I would like to be treated and the way I would like my parents to be treated if they ever need care.

I always feel that there are times when I inspire my residents, but more often they inspire me...

I have worked at Glebefields since October 2020, I originally worked here as a night care assistant but recently started my new role as an admin assistant.  I’ve got to know our residents well through my care position and now I get to interact with them and their families through my admin position. I am passionate about making our home a safe and happy environment for our residents and staff, I look forward to progressing in my new role.

My team and I believe it’s the small things that we do day to day that make the biggest difference

I have been the Maintenance Manager here at Glebefields since 2017. It is my responsibility to ensure the environment our residents enjoy is safe and well-kept, completing all health and safety checks and repairs, making sure every little thing is perfect.

The parts of my role I enjoy most are the way the team come together to support each other, and when I spend time with residents to help them personalise their private rooms, putting up pictures and moving furniture, enjoying a cup of tea and a chat.
