Lead Dementia Advisor

About me

Having worked as an accountant for 25 years it was time for a career change.

In 2018 I relocated from South Africa to the UK where my journey as a live-in Health Care Assistant began. When I relocated to Jersey to care for my first dementia client, I realised I had found my dream job and home.

I have gained knowledge and experience in Domiciliary and Live-in Care, Care Home Management and completed an NVQ level 3 in Adult Care and RQF 5 in Leadership and Management for Adult Care.

What I love about my job

I am passionate about assisting people with dementia, their families and friends.

By working in Domiciliary and Live-in Care I realised that more needs to be done to bring awareness and change to the growing number of people living with dementia. In order to do this one has to be involved from the beginning of someone’s journey and that is why I am excited to be part of the Dementia Jersey team and firmly believe that together we can make a significant difference.

Did you know

I love spending time outdoors in nature, am a passionate year-round cold water sea swimmer and enjoy cycling round the island.

I have an extensive travel “barrel” list and hope to do more travel in the future. On colder days I enjoy re-purposing furniture and building puzzles.
