Quick-Fire Questions
What do you do in your role?
I offer support, guidance, and signposting to those living with dementia and their families. We solve problems together and reach out to other organisations and services to find the best support and solutions that suit each individual.
What do you enjoy most about working on the team?
I am very lucky to say I work within an incredible team who supports each other. I enjoy going to work every day. I look forward to every contact I have with the families I support. Whether there is laughter, tears, or a good moan about the Welsh weather.
What motivates you in your work supporting people Living with dementia?
What motivates me daily is being able to support those with dementia and their loved ones. Being able to give them answers or reassurance they need. Taking some of the worries and concerns they have and working together to find a solution.
Share a moment that made you feel proud of your work.
I feel proud when a family member says that they appreciate knowing that I am there for them. I feel happy that we have built a trusting relationship and they feel they can turn to me when they need something. Sometimes the smallest things means the most to people.
What do you enjoy outside of work?
Outside of work, I spend my time supporting my children at their different sports. When not playing taxi/cheerleader to the kids, I'm usually out with the dog. Our favourite place to go is the beach... rain or shine.
Tell us one fun fact about you!
I spent time volunteering in an elephant sanctuary in Thailand. I got the opportunity to travel around the country visiting Bangkok, Ko Phi Phi, Ko Samui, smaller villages and many temples. It was an incredible experience.
A huge thank you to Sarah for the incredible difference she makes every day!
