I currently work as a Dementia Care Manager for the UK's largest care home provider, HC One. I am also founder and Chair of Dementia Dreammakers Sheffield, a not-for-profit organisation facilitating life-enhancing experiences for people with dementia. I graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2017 with an MA in Dementia Studies.

My Fellowship focuses on empowering the families and loved ones of people living with dementia to provide emotional and psychological support at the end of their lives. My professional experience in dementia-specific services has highlighted how our approach to end-of-life dementia care is often medically driven and lacks a fully holistic approach to prioritise the emotional and psychological wellness of both the dying person and their loved ones.

I hope this Fellowship will influence end-of-life dementia care policy both locally and nationally to improve the experiences of people dying with dementia.
