Meet our team

I am a qualified social worker with a MA in Early Years and Education, as well as a certified teacher in further education. My extensive experience spans statutory, community, educational, and voluntary sectors. Since 2014, I have worked in Northamptonshire and am deeply committed to the success of our services. I strive to ensure that our projects reflect the core values of ensuring every child and young person has a safe, happy childhood and the foundation they need to thrive, achieved through a collaborative team approach.

I have a passion for community work and value the power of networking, creating opportunities for people to connect, share ideas, and grow together. Seeing individuals and communities flourish is what drives me. I believe in building strong partnerships, fostering innovation, and championing inclusive practices that make a real difference. My goal is to inspire and support others so that, collectively, we can deliver services that transform lives.

My background is Office Management, Service Co-Ordinator and Children's Services Commissioner. I am passionate about supporting families with children with disabilities and bring a range of skills to the job. Co-production is very important to me, we will not provide the right service unless we know what families want and need. Community development also includes overseeing communications including surveys, newsletters and the website.

I have a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Psychological Research methods as well as a level 5 qualification in Coaching and Mentoring and currently working towards an additional level 5 qualification in Operational management. Further to this I also have an equine facilitated coaching qualification. I have 20 years of experience working with adults and young people with a range of disabilities; primarily Autism in various different roles.

I have been with Action for Children in June 2020 where I have enjoyed developing the service and working alongside my team to deliver a high standard of service to support children, young people and their families. I love being part of a team with a shared passion and drive to improve the lives of others and look forward to seeing how the service continues to develop moving forwards

I thoroughly enjoy working with children and young people with learning disabilities and I love that we can offer new and exciting opportunities and experiences within a home from home environment.

I have a level 5 Diploma in leadership and management and hold a mentor and assessor qualification.

In my spare time, I love being by the beach and eating fish and chips by the sea.

I enjoy walks, travelling and days out with family and friends.
