I joined the NHS in 2004 as an outpatient receptionist before taking up my first management post in 2006. Since then I have built up a portfolio as a healthcare director with a breadth of experience in various senior leadership roles across acute, community and primary care sectors including, General Manager for Specialist Neurology services at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery part of University College London Hospitals,  General Manager for Maternity and Neonatal services at Barts Health and Divisional Manager for Specialist Medicine at Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospital.

I have experience of collaborating with Integrated Care Partnership boards across different boroughs, providing senior strategic support in the development of new care models, working with GP federations, local authorities, voluntary organisations, CCGs, community and mental health providers.

I was Director of Operations at Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust before joining Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust as Director of Improvement in July 2019. I am responsible for the development of the Trusts continuous improvement strategy and ensuring that the Trust’s overall strategy is fully embedded through the organisation. I am also the executive lead for the Trusts Digital strategy and external partnerships including Integrated Care Partnerships and the Guy's and St Thomas' Healthcare Alliance.

I am passionate about people and the empowerment of front-line staff to drive sustainable change. I believe in the power of human connections, sharing and learning to make the NHS a creative and innovative place to work.
