What was your reason for joining Team JEDS?

I admire the work the JEDs team do, supporting individuals and loved ones as well as providing essential links with health care and support.

What skills and experience do you bring to your role?

I have lived experience of mental health challenges both personally and through supporting others. These experiences inspired me to retrain in counselling and psychology.

What are the most enjoyable parts of your role?

Supporting others is a privilege. Earning the trust of someone who is asking for help is a remarkable feeling. To be able to walk side by side with someone through challenging times is an honour.

About Me

I love to play the ‘cello and listen to music. I really enjoy staying active through yoga and running. Most of all I love spending time with my family and travelling to interesting places and experiencing new cultures.

What is the best advice you’ve ever received?

Being human is to experience all of life , not just the Instagram-ready snapshot of perfection.
