As a nurse she developed an interest in healthy lifestyles, integrating holistic and more sustainable practices into both her personal and professional life. She made the transition to a plant-based diet and vegan lifestyle in 2020 and became a passionate advocate for plant-based nutrition, driven by concerns for human health, environmental sustainability and animal welfare.

In October 2023, following national shortlisting, she took part in the Green Healthcare Leadership Programme run by the Florence Nightingale Foundation Academy. She presented a sustainability quality improvement project to transition to a predominantly plant-based food system in hospitals while raising awareness and educating patients and colleagues about the benefits of a plant-based diet.

She founded a plant-based community at her local NHS hospital where she works; she is a member of the Nurses and Midwives Sustainability Network for NHS England and a proud member of Plant-based Health Professionals UK. She completed the Plant-based Nutrition course at the University of Winchester in May 2024, and she is currently studying to become certified as a Lifestyle Medicine Professional and Diplomate of the International Board of Lifestyle Medicine (IBLM)
