I joined the Fife One Stop Shop in Spring 2022. Since studying for a psychology degree, I have worked within a range of roles supporting autistic and/or people with learning disabilities, as well as families. Most recently, I was a development worker supporting Citizen Advocacy partnerships. 

I am passionate about ensuring that autistic people have a voice within their lives, as well as supporting people to become better connected within their local communities.
