I have been the registered manager at Hatchmoor since January 2021. I qualified as a general adult nurse in 2010. Since qualifying I have gained a wealth of experience from being a ward manager in the NHS to being a nurse manager who thrived in troubleshooting homes to help get them compliant with CQC and to be a safe home for the residents. I am passionate about providing high quality care to residents. I believe that a care home should feel to residents like their own home and should be a home for life. Family and friends are always welcome and I ensure the team and myself support each resident individually in a kind and sympathetic manner. I was born in Scotland on a small Island called Isle of Arran. I then moved to Cornwall and worked there for 20 years. I moved to Devon and that is where I found Hatchmoor. In my spare time I enjoy walking my two dogs, looking after my horse and spending time with my family and friends.

I’m a dedicated nurse with seven years of experience at Hatchmoor Nursing Home and one year of experience working in NHS in high-pressure MAU ward. I like nursing because I like to help people, I want to bring smiles to people’s face and to make a difference in people’s lives. At Hatchmoor I felt from the beginning that I belong there, as the management and the staff were very kind, friendly and supportive which made me feel like being in a warm family. Outside of work I love to spend time with my loving wife and my two boys. I like spending time on the sea side with my family on sunny days, I like to travel and visit new places and learn about new cultures and habits.

I have been a nurse for 42 yrs. My experience has been in Medical Nursing, Community Nursing Sister, Community Nursing Team Leader, Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist Bladder & Bowel, Lead Nurse Dementia Suite at Hatchmoor. I have enjoyed all aspects of my Nursing career, it has given me progression as well as great job satisfaction. I love working at Hatchmoor especially being part of a superbly supportive team which strives for the highest standards the residents deserve. Promoting individualised person-centred care is paramount. Hatchmoor is purpose built providing the ideal environment for Dementia Care. My interests outside of work: I belong to Barnstaple Ladies Choir, enjoy swimming, walking, reading and travelling.
