I am passionate about working in the field of addictions, having fallen in love with addictions work at the age of 18 upon starting my first job in an addictions service and meeting the committed people who work in the sector. It never ceases to be humbling and a privilege to be able to support people in their recovery journey and to see people get well and go on to have the healthy, meaningful and fulfilling lives they deserve.”
