I qualified initially as a nursery nurse and then moved on to university. I qualified from the University of the West of England in 2007 with a BSc Hons in social work. 

I have worked as a social worker in Bristol and South Gloucestershire in locality children’s teams, duty, fostering and adult care. I have also worked for an IFA in the South West area. More recently I was the supervising social worker for the parent and child fostering service within Bristol City Council. I am looking forward to coming back to fostering and working in the Gloucester office with the team there.
