I have been a Registered Nurse since 2001, working in general nursing and governance.

I originally joined Barchester Healthcare as a Clinical Development Nurse (CDN), covering 11 nursing homes in the South Division.

I decided to take up the role of Deputy Manager (Clinical) at Windmill Manor because I found the home well focused in dementia care, with a well-experienced team.

I am fortunate to be part of this dedicated team, which promotes great values in dementia care.

I first joined the team at Windmill Manor in 2011 as a part-time Admin Assistant, only a few months after the home opened. I then spent two and a half years as the Administrator at another Barchester home, before returning to Windmill Manor in 2018.

As the Administrator, I am responsible for all the financial and business administration at the home, working closely with the General Manager.

I love the variety of my job and the interaction with residents and their families.

Hello, I am the Head Chef here at Windmill Manor, I am originally from South Africa and very passionate about creating a fine dining experience for our residents. I trained as a chef in culinary arts and Patisserie and have experience in both restaurants and the care Industry. I look forward to creating nutritious meals for our residents.

I became Head of the Housekeeping December 2019. I thoroughly enjoy my role from day-to-day. I enjoy talking to the residents and their families. I ensure that their rooms are homely, fresh and clean. I manage a team of 7 staff, and i am proud to say we are a great team and work really hard. I find every day is very rewarding regardless of any challenges faced. I have 2 daughters and a very handsome grandson. I am a very proud mummy & nanny.
