Experience
I have had a variety of jobs over my working life, including working in an inner-city school assisting children with special needs, at an alcohol and drug clinic, and helping students at the University of Derby. I also worked as a Housing Needs Advisor when I lived in Swindon for a while. I enjoy being in environments where I can offer support or help to others.
Job role within Livewell
I am the Customer Contact Team Assistant. I help to book people onto the programmes and give advice on what we have to offer.
Me in 3 words
Optimistic; happy; mindful
My favourite meal
Not sure I have a favourite, but I usually cook from scratch using veg out of my garden. If I had to choose it would probably have to be a chicken roast dinner.
My passions/interests
I care about trying to protect the planet and have supported climate change groups. I meditate when I can and practise an energy healing called Quantum Touch. I like to try new things and last year tried my hand at wood turning for the first time. I quite like the odd festival too…Glastonbury has to be my favourite.
My best achievement
I think it must be that I am a self-published author. I’m not that good at promoting my book, so it will never be a best seller!!
What you might be surprised to know about me
I am part of a Samba Band – still learning but really enjoying it.
My top lifestyle tips
Be mindful of your body and listen to it.
Be kind to yourself and just do your best. That might differ from day to day, but as long as you know it was your best ‘that day’ then that’s what counts.
My favourite quote
‘I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’ Maya Angelou
