I joined Watch in April 2023 as the Training Manager.
A little about me – as a young adult I struggled hugely with my mental health and was lucky enough to be referred to a therapeutic community where I spent 5 years. I have used my early lived experiences and subsequent journey through therapy to form and shape my career as a trainer consistently. I have worked in the voluntary sector for over 25 years in a wide variety of settings – from young people in care, to youth offending to designing and delivering personal development programmes for the prison service for both the men and women who find themselves in prison and those who work with them. My passion is creating meaningful and transformative training programmes for people with peer work at their heart.
Outside of work, I’m an avid scuba diver and underwater photographer and (I like to think anyway) play a mean game of squash.
