Meet the Team

I would say that people (and the natural environment) have been at the heart of my career.

I had a great time completing an Environmental Biology Degree in Liverpool, then worked in conservation engaging people with their environment. I then managed Social and Therapeutic Garden Projects for people of all ages and abilities (people with learning disabilities, mental ill health, physical disabilities, substance misuse issues and a mix of many of those situations) I moved to work with vulnerable teenagers supporting them develop their own skills, confidence and knowledge to make successful transitions to independence and adulthood. Alongside this I trained and practiced as a swimming teacher – which I returned to when living here in Cornwall. I then moved to Cornwall and worked with vulnerable Children and their families. Over the last few years I have happily returned to swimming teaching and dog walking exploring Cornwall in all weathers – especially the beaches …until I was lucky enough to join the Recovery College Cornwall as a Community Trainer – which I am loving being a part of the Recovery College Team.

Having been a student with the Recovery College Cornwall before becoming a volunteer peer mentor and now an employed Recovery College Cornwall Peer Mentor, I hope I can bring a different insight through lived experience to how we can support our amazing learners for the best outcomes for them.
