I studied Sustainability and Environmental Management at University, then went on to do a master’s in public health in Sheffield. Both courses taught me a lot about health inequalities, and how climate and the environment can impact health outcomes. My dissertation examined the barriers and enablers of environmentally sustainable policy and initiatives in global healthcare systems. I am excited to bring my learning from both my courses to my role as a Well Doncaster officer in North Doncaster. 

Before joining the team in October 2024 I worked in a clothing embroidery and printing shop, but since starting my role at Well Doncaster, I have done a lot of community engagement, which has developed my passion for working with communities. I wasn’t familiar with Doncaster before starting my role, but I’ve enjoyed getting to know North Doncaster and meeting people who work so hard to make their community a better place. I try and immerse myself into the communities I work with, to find out what is important to people and making their dreams for their community a reality. 

 Fun Fact: I love travelling.

What people appreciate about me: That I am calm and easy-going.

What is important to me: I like being outside & being in the sun.

The thing I enjoy best about being part of Well Doncaster: Being part of a great team and the opportunities to meet people doing great things in their local communities.
