Experience
Health and fitness have always been a passion of mine since childhood. I enjoyed various sports including football, taekwondo, biking and swimming. Creating my own healthy recipes was another hobby of mine.
Later I studied Nutrition, Health and Lifestyles at university. Sharing my passion for health and fitness with others has always been such a rewarding experience, represented in previous job roles including Fitness Instructor, Healthy Lifestyle Specialist, Nutritionist, Locality Coach, Diabetes Educator as well as being a Yoga Teacher.
Job Role
As a Livewell Advisor I lead healthy lifestyle sessions including exercise and healthy eating to groups within the community. I also support clients to stop smoking. Seeing clients grow in confidence, as well as adapting their lifestyles provides great fulfilment throughout the job role.

Bubbly, adventurous as well as welcoming!
My Favourite Meal
There’s too many to choose…. but I love roasted vegetables, sweet potato wedges with grilled salmon and a dash of balsamic vinegar (I have this with literally everything!)
My Passions/Interests
I love the outdoors! Most weekends you will find me somewhere in the Peak District either hiking or biking! I also enjoy climbing and recently completed a lead climbing course which is so much fun as well as being super scary! I practice yoga daily as well as meditation.
Other hobbies include jogging, wild swimming, salsa dancing, going to hippy festivals as well as spending time with friends and family. I also love adventures, travelling and hiking in different places, especially staying in hostels!
My Best Achievement
Hiking Tour Du Mont Blanc recently, a massive challenge but well worth the pain for the stunning views.
