After a career working as a support worker for those with substance misuse issues, those suffering homelessness, family support work with a food bank and training, I joined EEAST in 2017. After working through the SAP programme I got my Paramedic ticket in March 2020. I joined Chelmsford Training Centre on a year’s secondment in 2023, including completing my CAVA and beginning a PG-Cert in Medical and Healthcare Education. I joined the University of Cumbria on a two year secondment in July 2024
