Following obtaining a BA Hons in international business studies and French in 2004 I undertook a local NHS graduate scheme. I continued my career in the NHS and have worked in a number of roles in both mental health provider and commissioner organisations, starting my career as a clinical audit officer.
Following my role as All Age Mental Health Commissioner in Oldham I returned to a mental health provider in service development and contracting before moving into operational service management and then to Assistant Director of Operations.
I joined GMMH as Deputy Chief Operating Officer in October 2021 with patient flow featuring in my portfolio.
