I am a Registered Nurse with 10 years' experience in care home management. I have a passion for leading a team that delivers exceptional care, celebrating the individuality of each resident in a warm and supportive environment that is full of joy.

I understand choosing a care home can be an emotional and challenging time, and I am always here to offer a kind, supportive hand to guide you through the process. Port Manor is such a beautiful home. As a local to Seaford myself, it’s wonderful to be able to ensure that the home and residents are an active part of our vibrant community.

Ensuring residents feel safe, happy and living with joy and anticipation is a great privilege and a great responsibility, and I am committed to putting the residents at the heart of all we do at Port Manor. Here in Seaford we are blessed to have access to the South Downs and the sea. I have three dogs, so I always make good use of our beautiful surroundings.
