I currently live in Tamworth, having moved from Birmingham in 1971.
I worked for Tamworth Hospitals for 50years, both on the wards and in the Out Patient Department.
I have experience and empathy for the struggles involved, having relatives, and working with people with Dementia.

I'm an experienced project and service management professional with over 20 years of leadership in both public and private sector IT, including work in regulated and high stakes environments. I'm also a certified PRINCE2 and ITIL4 practitioner with a deep appreciation for clear governance, operational accountability and financial stewardship. Having seen the impact of dementia on families first hand, I'm passionate about contributing my time and skills to support financial oversight, long term planning and operational improvements that help the charity thrive.
