I am a Community Projects Officer working mainly on the Safe and Warm Communities and Community Buildings projects as well as leading on the Winter Readiness Campaign. 

I have worked in the VCSE sector for the last decade including working as a community consultant alongside social enterprises, as a support worker for people in crisis and managing a service for people with dementia and their carers. I have also worked in the mental health sector and spent over a decade as a civil servant. 

I chaired the Portsmouth Dementia Action Alliance for a couple of years and outside of work I am involved in the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Integrated Care System. I have a passion for the VCSE being at the heart of their communities and to support them to be able to deliver the best outcomes for the people of Hampshire. 

I enjoy cycling, sci-fi, cinema and sport in general but particularly football, where I'm a long-suffering Tranmere Rovers fan, and rugby league, where the mighty St Helens are my team.
