About

I have recently started a new role as a Housing Estate Officer with the DIO. I have previously worked for ten years in the legal sector and ten years in social housing, ending that time as Income Recovery Manager for a local housing association. Outside of work I take part in parkrun, both as a runner and volunteer. I have also completed the Isle of Wight Challenge, Jurassic Coast Challenge and Thames Path Challenge in recent years.
