Personal Statement: We joined the Street Lane family in September 2018 when my daughter started in reception. I work in HR and having worked in the private sector for 15 years I moved over to the public sector in 2019 in order to improve my work life balance. Within my role I have to deal with a wide range of scenarios and be able to offer advice and support to people who don’t always know what the appropriate next steps are. I was really proud to be come a ‘Mental Health First Aider’ back in January 2019.
Its not an easy task working full time, juggling my husbands shifts and a daughter who has a busy social life however it has meant that I have transferred the organisational skills I use in my working life into homelife - not always successfully, admittedly.
As a family we enjoy spending time together – we love trips to the cinema and film nights with pizza at home. My husband and daughter are also keen cyclists and they go off for miles while I get on with a good book. We started doing a lot more gardening in 2020 and we are very proud of our purple sprouting broccoli and a particularly grand blueberry bush – I’m still not sure if its little fingers or the birds that get all the fruit.
