Meet the Team (10)
I am a qualified nurse with over 30 years of leadership experience within luxury healthcare settings, with a strong commitment to building a dedicated team that shares my values of kindness, compassion, and excellence. Together, we strive to deliver exceptional, personalised care in a warm, welcoming, and luxurious environment.
I am deeply passionate about creating a positive, caring environment where every resident feels valued, respected, and truly at home. Being approachable and people-focused is very important to me, and I look forward to getting to know each staff member, resident, and their family as part of our growing community at Signature at Hornchurch.
Supporting residents to live well for longer, happier lives, while offering families reassurance and peace of mind, is at the heart of my role. Having worked with Signature for over six years, I have had the privilege of commissioning Signature at Hornchurch. I look forward to creating a home of the highest standards - one that will be a proud focal point and a valued part of the Emerson Park community.
I have over six years of experience working in older adult care, and I feel privileged to be the first point of contact for all care enquiries, whether for yourself or a loved one.
I am very passionate about making what can often be a daunting time feel kind, calm, and reassuring. I understand the emotions involved in making the decision to move into care and am experienced in offering support through knowledge, kindness, and empathy.
I am thrilled to be part of the team here in Hornchurch and would warmly welcome anyone to pop in for a chat and a cuppa to discuss any care needs.

With over 12 years of experience in the care industry, beginning at the age of 18, I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals living with dementia and ensuring they receive compassionate, respectful, and truly person-centred care. My experience spans frontline care roles through to managing a home as a deputy, giving me a deep understanding of the emotional, physical, and psychological needs of those living with dementia.
Throughout my career, I have specialised in dementia care within care homes across the South East, working closely with residents, families, and care teams to ensure each individual is supported as a whole person, not solely based on physical needs. I believe exceptional care is built on empathy, patience, and meaningful human connection, with a strong focus on preserving familiarity, comfort, and routine.
I pride myself on providing a luxury standard of care while maintaining residents’ independence, dignity, and sense of self. My holistic approach recognises the importance of emotional wellbeing, personal choice, and creating environments where residents feel safe, valued, and truly at home - something I am excited to bring to Signature at Hornchurch.
I have worked in care for over 15 years and am a registered nurse with experience in the NHS, particularly within a busy A&E department. For the past five years, I have worked as a Deputy Manager within luxury nursing homes.
