Having enjoyed the breadth and diversity of patients, colleagues and cardiology over the last two decades of working in CHD services, I am delighted that my role as a clinical director in the LCHDN will allow me to experience this even more in my day to day work.

I look forward to building new relationships with those centres and colleagues who are new to me as we all work together, driven by a shared vision of the best patient centred CHD network possible for all.

I have had the privilege of working within Congenital Heart Disease services for the last 15 years, initially in Paediatrics and then Fetal, which also links to Adults. I have learnt so much from patients, families and professionals working throughout the network.

I am delighted to be part of the Lifelong CHD Network to provide support to all our partners enabling the delivery of accessible, high quality cardiac healthcare closer to home for all patients with CHD.

I have over ten years experience of working for Cardiac services in different NHS Trusts. My background is largely in Operational Management, having managed both Paediatric and Adult Cardiology services but I have been a Network Manager for the past five years for the former GSTT-Evelina London CHD Network and now the Lifelong CHD Network.

I enjoy contributing towards long-term strategic change and am looking forward to all of the opportunities that our new network provides for patients and families.

I’ve spent the last 10 years working with the NHS, including a background in midwifery. I have now transitioned into management through the management trainee graduate scheme. Now in my second year, I’m excited to continue learning and growing as a senior leader. My passion for exceptional patient care fuels my dedication to supporting the network and its mission. 

Besides working hard for the network, in my free time I enjoy reading, singing, and simply being a creative! I look forward to working with and serving you all.
