After completing my degree at Brunel University, I obtained an honours degree in Business Administration specializing in European Community Law. I then undertook a number of educational roles ranging  from teaching Business Studies to training disaffected young people to enter employment.

In more recent years I have worked in social housing as a Community Co-ordinator, focusing mainly on large new  housing developments, and  subsequently  further  trained as a Personal Support Broker. I have been working independently since November 2011 and am now an approved broker for Buckinghamshire and for Hertfordshire councils.

MY  VALUES
Empowerment - this is an essential aspect of my work.  The objective is   always  to enable individuals, families and carers to take charge of the   services they receive and deliver, and to ensure  that the needs and   choices of the person receiving care is at the centre of all decisions.
 
Inclusion - It is important that all individuals feel  able to make decisions   about their own lives, and are able to take an active part in everyday life.They should, wherever possible, enjoy the same access  to opportunities  and activities as their contemporaries, regardless of age and ability.

Empathy - To ensure that services are delivered that recognise an   individual or families needs and aspirations.​
