My own journey with mental health has woven itself into both my life and my work. My lived experience of mental health issues and the rich tapestry of neurodiversity and LGBTQ+ identity, I understand the quiet struggles and the fierce courage it takes to be truly yourself, and it shapes how I hold space for others. As a support worker, I see first-hand every day how mental ill-health can affect people’s daily lives.

To tend to my own heart and mind, I make sure I am well supported, continue learning, and like to spend time in nature, with animals, and with loved ones.
