About Me

Director of Corporate Governance (Board Secretary)

I was appointed to the role of Board Secretary in January 2016. This role is vital in holding the organisation to account in living out its values and I am the ‘wise counsel’ for the board on all matters of governance and probity. Prior to this I was assistant director of corporate governance for the health board for four years. I began my career as a home care branch manager in Goldsborough Homecare (part of BUPA) a role which I held for over three years and which developed my knowledge and experience in partnership working with local authorities and planning home care for private and social services clients. Before joining the health board in 2010, I held the roles of head of corporate governance,head of corporate services and also worked as a senior auditor/local counter fraud specialist for over three years.

My background is firmly rooted in corporate governance, information governance, assurance, risk management, internal audit and counter fraud. I have also undertaken the qualifications to become a certified counter fraud specialist and I also hold the Information System Examination Board (ISEB) qualifications in both Freedom of Information and Data Protection.    

I am passionate about strengthening the governance and assurance systems and ensuring the board remains open and transparent with the voice of our staff, patients and carers embedded within the board’s decision making processes.

I live in Pembrokeshire with my son and husband and outside of work I enjoy walking the coastal path and I am actively engaged in school and community activities.
