Linmere in Houghton?Regis has been the heart of my journey at Â鶹´«Ã½ since I joined in 2022. I¡¯ve helped shape a landscape-led vision for 5,150 homes across multiple phases. Each stage brings new opportunities to create inclusive green spaces, sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), biodiversity corridors, and playful environments for all ages. I¡¯ve loved working with design teams and clients to bring this evolving community to life.

What are your passions outside of work?
Outside of work, I enjoy yoga, aerial silks, hiking, travelling, painting, crafting, and cooking. I love exploring new places, learning new things, and volunteering¡ªwhether through gardening during Â鶹´«Ã½ in the Community Week or as a compassionate companion with the NHS. These experiences bring meaning to how I connect with people, nature, and the world around me.
