Overview
Currently working in local authority managing a public health team in Bradford. Delivering family centred support to families across the district whose children have overweight. The service advocates a holistic and compassionate approach which focuses on moving well, eating well, mentally well and sleeping well.
I am a qualified Mental Health Nurse and Specialist Community Public Health Nurse and have previously worked in various CAMHS settings, including inpatient and community.
I have previously taught Mental Health Nursing students as a lecturer at Huddersfield University, focusing my teaching on prevention and the wider determinants of mental health.
I have lived experience of Autism, having grown up with an Autistic sibling and subsequent nephew.
I am really excited to be part of such an exciting project and being able to shape services through an autistic experience lens.
