I am passionate about development, whether that is at an individual, team, service or cross-agency level. I use my understanding of people gained through being a mental health nurse and a trained coach to help people to work at their best. Having worked in the public sector for over 20 years, working up to regional and national roles, and having run my own organisation (alongside Fiona Warner-Gale) for over 12 years, I have a real understanding of how organisations work to enable their people to be their best.

Chilypep is a can-do organisation that always puts young people at the heart of everything that we do. It is a real privilege to be involved with Chilypep and work towards young people being empowered.

Collaboration, compassion and leadership are at the heart of everything I do, and I link this with practical application to real-life situations.
