NHS comms at Pennine Care NHS - mental health, learning disabilities and autism in Greater Manchester. Love running (London 🇬🇧 and Tromso 🇳🇴 Marathon in 2025), netball, dogs (of course) and the great outdoors.

Took part in my first Spunch event last night - running/ walking round Sandbach to find 99 orienteering points in 90 mins. Great fun and we found 45 (not bad for our first attempt)
