I have worked in the health care sector since 2008, in nursing, residential and dementia care settings. My previous roles have included a carer, receptionist, customer care and marketing. My whole working career has been based in the care services, which I am passionate about.

I am dedicated to delivering an excellent service which can enhance the quality of life for residents, families and friends.   

I look forward to being a part of the team at Herne Place and enabling the staff team to deliver outstanding care.

I joined Barchester in November 2019, but I have worked in administration and sales & marketing since 2011. Herne Place will be the third home I have had the privilege of being part of from the very beginning of their journey.

I will be the first point of contact should you wish for yourself or your loved one to come and stay at Herne Place, and I understand how much of an emotional and difficult choice moving into a care home can. My role is to support and guide residents and their families through each step of the way, ensuring that the transition goes as smoothly as possible.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and I am looking forward to welcoming my first grandchild into the world in May.

I have worked in the healthcare sector since 2016 in occupational health and, most recently, as a HR Assistant for a care charity supporting adults and children with disabilities. I really enjoy working in administration and support type roles where I can work in a team and feel like I am making a difference. 

These are exciting times for Barchester, and I enjoy being part of a new home within my local community. Part of my role is to welcome residents and visitors into the home on a daily basis, and I look forward to meeting you all.

I have previously worked in the care sector for over 6 years.I have an NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Health & Social Care, and a diploma in Dementia Care.

Prior to healthcare, I had a long management career in the travel sector.

I love spending time socialising with my family and friends, cooking and photography.

I was part of the opening team for Herne Place and have been a Head Housekeeper for over 20 years in different 4* hotels and country houses.

I am responsible for working with my team of housekeeping assistants to ensure the high standards of cleanliness within the home and the laundry are met.

I enjoy interacting with the residents and involving them with different activities whilst creating a comfortable, clean and homely environment with a family orientated feel.
