About
My career has been a journey! I started out in the NHS at 18 and in my 30s and 40s became my own boss.
☑️At 21 I was told I had an incurable neuromuscular disease that wasted my mucles.
☑️At 23 told I’d never work again. Medically retired.
☑️At 25 I went back to education and developed a passion for business development
☑️At 30 I decided to explore being my own boss and found my home!
☑️In my 40s I’ve started building a life that I love, one that allows me to work to live rather than live to work.
I have spent my whole adult life learning to overcome barriers and find solutions. Those skills have followed me into my business career.
