Throughout her university experience, she worked within various areas such as in supported living for individuals with mental health diagnoses, nursing, and residential homes.

"My favourite part of working in this field, particularly Empower, is being able to engage with clients outside of a clinical setting which opens up a new dimension for building therapeutic relationships. During time where clients access the community with your support, the real recovery and progress begins. I find this the most rewarding aspect of my job".
