I’ve been working with families my whole career - over 25 years. I completed my NNEB training after leaving school and worked in the childcare sector at a Day Nursery and then as a Private Nanny before moving to work in the charity sector as a Family Support Worker where I continued my training and development. I have worked with hundreds of families in need and crisis and facilitated many parenting workshops and courses. I then became a mum myself in 2010 and have three daughters (including twins) which inspired me to continue my work with families and offer support where needed.

I joined Twins Trust in 2013 when my twins were 10 months old as the helpline coordinator.  I have a passion for empowering and developing people which is why I love working here and working with all our volunteers who give their time to us to support the thousands of families each year.
