I have worked in the Health & Well-Being Team in the Northern Health & Social Care Trust for the past 9 years. My background is community development and health improvement and over the years I have been involved in a wide range of health initiatives within communities including Cook it!, smoking cessation groups, alcohol & drugs programmes .

I currently work as a project co-ordinator for two specific programmes: Roots of Empathy and Strengthening Families. It was my work with Roots of Empathy that led me to be more interested in child development and the whole area of resilience. Fresh Little Minds is a programme which will benefit all children and I look forward to playing my part in achieving that.
