I began my journey in the field of care, specifically mental health, at the young age of 16, working as a domestic in a psychiatric ward. It was during this time that I realised my passion for mental health care and decided to pursue it as a career. After finishing school, I enrolled at the University of the West of Scotland in 2010 and graduated with a BSc in Mental Health Nursing.
My professional career began in a secure forensic setting, where I spent five enriching years. In April 2015, I joined Meallmore (The Oaks) as a Staff Nurse, and in 2017, I was promoted to Deputy Manager. This role allowed me to hone my management skills and prepared me for my next challenge at Alderwood House, which I embraced in March 2024.
Working for Meallmore has been incredibly fulfilling. I have always felt supported in my career development and have cherished the strong sense of team spirit and collaboration in developing our specialist services. I take pride in knowing that my contributions are valued, and I am confident that this support will continue as I take on my new role as Manager at Alderwood House.
At Meallmore, we understand the unique needs of individuals seeking specialist adult care that encompasses mental health conditions, disabilities, and brain injuries. Our compassionate and professional team is dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment where individuals can receive the specialised care they require.
