I have worked in the health care sector for 18 years. Prior to beginning my career with Together Trust, as a support worker I gained a degree in Counselling and Therapeutic interventions however, I decided to pursue a career as an Occupational Therapist. I was really pleased to have secured an Occupational Therapy position after I graduated, with Together Trust, as Together Trust share the same values and passion as I do about the young people we care for. My interests lie in adapting the environment and early intervention to support management in behaviour. I am passionate about implementing strategies that will ensure the people in our care live their best life possible. I have had an article published in OTNews 2020 magazine, focusing on intervention for PICA. I feel it is essential for personal and service development that we learn from each other and listen to other people's ideas, to ensure we are all singing off the same hymn sheet which helps to ensure we are providing a good service.
