I have worked as a senior care assistant for 20 years, I came to Barchester in 2017 as a training care practitioner.  I qualified in 2017 and worked on a memory lane unit here at Newton House. In 2020 I became head of Watergate and in 2021 I stepped up to be Acting Deputy Manager and continue to help support the home.  I want to encourage residents to be independent and to have fun. I have a passion for a high standard of care and wellbeing in all aspects of their lives.

I qualified as a RMN in 1985 and then as a RGN in 1987. I have worked mainly for NHS mental health services, but in 1988, I transferred to Newton House as Head of Brownlow, which is the home's mental health community. I enjoy working with people with dementia and to try to keep up-to-date with current research in effort to improve the lives of those I support.

I have worked with Barchester Healthcare since 2013. I have a great passion for delivering the highest standard of nursing care and I believe that high-quality nursing can lead to improved patient recovery.  I qualified in 1995 from the University of Karnadaka, India and served with various hospitals across India until 2000.  I came to the UK in 2004 and joined as a trainee nurse in Bognor Regis.  Having completed my nursing adaptation from the University of Portsmouth.

As the activities team, we develop and oversee an active living programme for each resident, which encourages mobility, social contact, independence and fun. Each and every person can thrive and live to their full potential with no day ever being the same. We bring great enthusiasm and spark to Newton House and have one passion, which is to deliver an amazing and vibrant activities programme to cater to all tastes and abilities.
