Since Leaving School and gaining great GCSE’s I then went onto collage to gain qualifications in Uniformed Public Services; as a child I always wanted to fulfil a career in Nursing, Paramedics or Police. Whilst completing my course at college I gained various other qualifications in Conflict management, Law and First aid. On completing my 3 year course I then chose to apply to go onto university to gain a career in Nursing but unfortunately became very unwell for a couple of years and never went onto fulfilling this career.

Throughout my younger years I have gained most of my experience in various hospitality roles working in a local care home, hotels and volunteering for a charity integrating children with disabilities into society.

I then went onto working in various office administration and finance roles later on in life where I gained my experience in Administration and finance.

Previous to this job role I gained a brilliant career within a pharmaceutical company working on behalf of the NHS and DOH for 2 years as a FFP3 Mask fitter Supporting all NHS staff in Keeping them safe throughout Covid, Within these 2 years I gained a lot of  qualifications and experience within the company and NHS trusts I worked in.

Which from then I have decided in a completely new challenging and rewarding career with the community peer mentors in which I am very passionate about my job being the centre of the team . Since Starting this role with the Community Peer mentors, I have learnt so much from gaining qualifications in Mediation skills, DBS Barring Disclosure, volunteer Boundaries, allied Recovery training and Mental First aid.

In the future I am looking to work towards more qualifications within the community Peer mentors and Durham constabulary and can’t wait to carry on my career and see where life takes me.

In my spare time I am a mother to my two beautiful Daughters, Essie and harper and enjoy spending time with them and watching them grow along with my two stepchildren and partner. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family and have a passion for event planning and getting large groups together.
