New Position: Director:
I’m proud to share that I’ve stepped into the role of Director & Disability Advocate at Let’s Talk North East (LTNE).
Anyone who knows me knows this isn’t just a title — it’s the work I live every single day. Fighting for accessibility. Challenging the systems that shut disabled people out.
Speaking up when we’re dismissed, ignored, or treated as an afterthought. I’ve done that on my own for a long time, fuelled by lived experience, stubbornness, and the belief that disabled voices deserve to be heard.
Now, I get to bring that same fire into a space built for real conversations and real change. LTNE gives me the platform to push harder, shout louder, and advocate alongside people who genuinely care about the North East community.
My focus is simple:
Break down barriers. Amplify disabled voices. Create a region where accessibility isn’t an afterthought but a standard.
I’m ready for this next chapter — and I’m not doing it quietly.
