With over 18 years of experience in the health and social care sector, I’m a dedicated and compassionate Home Manager committed to providing the highest standards of person-centred care. I began my career in domiciliary care and have since gained extensive experience across a range of settings, including nursing, elderly care, and children’s mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve achieved a variety of qualifications and awards that reflect my commitment to professional growth and excellence in care.
I take a hands-on approach to leadership and pride myself on building supportive, well-led environments where both residents and staff can thrive. I have a deep understanding of complex care needs and a strong focus on developing and empowering my team. I’m passionate about maintaining compliance, enhancing the quality of life for residents, and promoting a culture of respect, empathy, and excellence in every aspect of care delivery.

I am a Registered Nurse and Clinical Deputy at Mill House, with over 20 years of experience across health and social care. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, in community nursing, hospitals, and nursing homes, specialising in different areas such as end-of-life care, long-term conditions, therapy and rehabilitation, mental health, emergency and acute care. This breadth of experience has shaped me into a well-rounded practitioner who understands the full journey of a person’s health needs.
What drives me most is the belief that everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality care delivered with respect, empathy, and dignity. I always aim to treat people as I would treat my own family by offering reassurance, listening carefully, and supporting them through both challenging and hopeful moments. Building trust and meaningful connections with residents, their families, and the wider multidisciplinary team is at the heart of my practice.
In my role as a Clinical Deputy, I take pride in supporting clinical standards, mentoring and supporting staff, and helping to create environments where excellent care can truly flourish. I am committed to continuous learning, reflective practice, and promoting a culture where kindness, safety, and person-centred care are at the core of everything I do.Every day, I am reminded of the privilege of nursing, and I remain dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of the people I care for.
