I earned my psychology degree in 1994 and qualified from Leicester University in 1998. My early career involved working in children’s residential and family assessment units and from 1998 to 2003, I was part of the children’s safeguarding team at Leicester City Council. In 2003, I moved to Hampshire, starting as a Social Worker and advancing to Assistant Team Manager, then Team Manager, and now District Manager. Playing a key role in the development and implementation of our Family Help model, I am passionate about the maintaining the welfare of vulnerable children across Hampshire.
