My Story
At 14, I experienced a serious horse riding accident that resulted in complex facial injuries.
Over the years, I underwent multiple reconstructive surgeries, including bone grafts taken from my hips to rebuild facial bone.
Alongside my recovery, I navigated a litigation process during a formative stage of my life without the guidance of a dedicated case manager.
Managing medical treatment, legal proceedings and adolescence required resilience and perspective beyond my years.
That experience shaped not only my confidence, but my understanding of how deeply injury can affect identity, independence and self-esteem. It also showed me how critical meaningful, coordinated support is during such vulnerable periods.
For a long time, I believed that showing vulnerability was a weakness. Over time, I have learned that vulnerability is not a limitation, it is a strength. It creates growth, deeper connection and the courage to rebuild.
I went on to train as an Occupational Therapist and now work as a Case Manager, supporting individuals and families following serious injury. I understand, both personally and professionally, how overwhelming this time can feel.
Engagement has always been at the heart of my approach. Truly listening. Building trust. Working collaboratively. Ensuring the individual remains at the centre of every decision.
That is why I founded Engage Case Management Ltd, because I believe people should never feel like a case file. They should feel heard, understood and actively involved in rebuilding their lives.
My work is grounded in lived experience, clinical expertise and a commitment to putting people, not processes, at the core of everything I do.
