About Me
My journey in social care began at 15, when our family home opened its doors to adult placements. Welcoming people into our family, each with their own stories and challenges, instilled in me a deep respect for care, resilience, and connection. Those formative years shaped the person I am today.
During my career in care I have worked as a CQC Registered Manager in mental health services before moving into consultancy, supporting care businesses with managing regulatory pressures and shifting standards. I have also worked for CQC as a bank inspector since 2014 continuing my commitment to improving services from within.
