I lead and support the Leeds and Wakefield team to provide support to people living with HIV and prevention in Wakefield.

In addition, I sit on the FastTrack Cities Leadership group and lead in the FastTrack Cities anti-stigma sub group, working to reduce HIV, TB and viral transmissions and stigma by 2030.
How did you end up working in this field
I started my career supported autistic adult with learning disabilities and quickly realized that I wanted to do more to challenge health inequalities and the determinants to wellbeing many people experience. This resulted in me seeking a path in advocacy within the third sector.
