“I am the service manager for women’s health. I look after the administrative service for the antenatal, early pregnancy, maternity and gynaecology units. I have worked for the Trust since 2016 and before this I worked extensively overseas in Florida with Disney, and in Las Vegas, Corfu and Spain.

"I have always been involved with entertainment as part of a professional company, amateur theatre, producing musicals and acting as pantomime dame. After a few years in event management opening night parties, wedding co-ordinating, corporate events and award ceremonies and tourism as a resort manager, airport controller and travel agent manager, so when I decided it was time for a change I went down a different path with the NHS.

"I knew I wanted to work in the public sector as I believed in the values and working ethics, plus I knew they supported their staff. There was also the fact that they had good stability with pensions, annual leave and career progression.

"The best bit of my job is being able to be creative and find new ways of working, troubleshooting, fact finding and implementing development changes that benefit the Trust and the patient. I enjoy finding an area for change, researching, presenting and implementing without blocks, hassle and interference. One thing I have learnt is...document everything!”
