I like exercise, so I run, swim, and go bouldering. I also play a trading card game called ‘Magic: The Gathering’ and I like to read philosophy."

You will most likely find me at the theatre! I am a huge musical theatre enthusiast, and a keen baker too! "

"The most rewarding part of the job is seeing the small and large developments that our members make in confidence, independence and communication with our support.
Outside of work, most of my time is taken up having fun with family. Our one year old son and West Highland Terrier, Mo, keep my husband and I busy, but when I have the time I enjoy floristry. I have provided flowers for weddings and Church arrangements for my village. Last year I supported members with creating Christmas wreaths to sell for our enterprise project."
