When did you join ASM?

2019.

Tell us about your experience, lived and/or working?

In my previous job working for a large Bank for 30 years I specialised in supporting employees and their managers with Reasonable Adjustments. I have personal experience of supporting neurodivergent family members and also work as a Personal Assistant to a young autistic/ADHD adult.

​

What do you value most about your work?

Being able to share my knowledge and experience that I have gained in all walks of my life with clients and to help them believe in themselves again. I really get how important small wins are and love to be able to show clients how these can build up.  I enjoy helping my clients to develop the skills they need to enter and thrive in the world of work.

​

What are your areas of interest or expertise?

With a long history of working in Human Resources this knowledge supports both clients and colleagues, particularly when asking for adjustments. From a personal perspective I have had to negotiate many of the other life challenges that our clients face in terms of benefits and adult support services so understand how difficult it can be.

​

When you’re not working, how do you relax, have fun etc?

I am a great crafter (some may say excessive - potential ADHD), I run and sing in a local choir, I enjoy watching horror movies and paranormal TV and podcasts.
