Hello, I’m the Homes Manager of Studd Brow. I began working for Holden Knight in July 2023 after completing my social work degree. I also have 10 years’ experience in Children’s Residential Care and hold my Level 3 Diploma. I am a passionate individual and ensure that the children are the centre of my practice. I believe I advocate for the young people in my care to ensure that their needs are met in their best interest, and that their voices are heard.
