Team manager
24/7 health support line
I trained at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and the Bloomsbury group Hospitals. I'm a registered paediatric and adult nurse with over 37 years of experience in the healthcare sector, including roles in children’s hospice care and end-of-life support. My professional background spans paediatric cardiology, children and young adult end-of-life care, and adult end-of-life care.
I joined AXA Health’s 24/7 health support line in June 2022. I also hold a BA degree in Management and French and have a keen interest in the field of Generative AI (GEN AI). I'm passionate about compassionate leadership, believing in leading by example while fostering resilience, promoting a positive team spirit, and enhancing staff engagement.
To maintain my physical stamina, I enjoy regular jump rope sessions and cycling.
