My favourite part of the day in my role as home manager at Harcourt Gardens is doing my walk arounds and spending time with colleagues and residents. I enjoy being present in the home and seeing the meaningful moments that happen when people feel safe, valued and supported.
I hold a degree and Level 5 qualification in leadership and management, and before joining Harcourt Gardens I worked as the CEO of a dementia charity. Throughout my career I have learned the importance of patience, understanding and being non-judgmental. I believe a home manager should be pleasant, positive and genuinely caring, and I bring those values into my role every day.
A proud career highlight for me was creating a 1950s village as part of a dementia-friendly environment, as well as writing a book on care homes. I am equally proud to be part of a team that strives to make life better for others. The most important part of my role is being a voice and advocate for residents and colleagues whenever they need support.
Outside of work I enjoy horse riding, baking and taking care of animals.
