What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values collaboration and supports personal growth while making a positive impact on individuals and communities.

I am a dedicated and compassionate social worker with a Master of Social Work from The University of Edinburgh and a BA(Hons) in Music. My professional journey has equipped me with a diverse skill set, enabling me to manage complex casework and support individuals through challenging circumstances. I believe in the importance of building genuine relationships and providing tailored support strategies that respect each person's unique experiences and needs.

In my current role as a Children and Families Social Worker, I lead child protection matters and coordinate multi-agency strategies to promote positive change for children and their families. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed practices and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including CBT and DBT, which I implement to foster resilience and well-being. I am committed to continuous professional development and strive to create a supportive environment that encourages growth and empowerment for both clients and colleagues.
