I am recognised as an approachable, fair and knowledgeable leader and educator, who is continually striving for improvement to improve staff experience and care quality.

I foster a positive culture of recognition & appreciation, ensuring that staff achievements are acknowledged and celebrated.

I am an advocate for collective leadership/shared governance & passionate about enabling frontline staff's voice to be heard and placed at the centre of decision making processes - empowering staff and driving the future strategic changes to enhance this provision.
