Kensington, West London.

Career highlight:
I had a highlight in every job I had – to summarise those will be - a leading role in 3 five star luxury hotels pre-openings, 1 boutique hotel rebranding and 1 luxury care home pre-opening. In my last job, the home I managed became one of the top 20 best homes in London based on families and residents feedback for 2 consecutive years.

Favourite meal to enjoy with Members:
This will definitely be an afternoon tea.

Favourite part of the job:
Making a difference not only in our Members and their families lives but also in our team members careers. I believe a good leader must inspire people and this has always been my personal goal.

Favourite activity to do with Members: 
I enjoy everything that makes people happy, seeing Members having fun is the best feeling and what makes the hard job of a manager all worth it at the end of the day.

Favourite part of the day:
Morning as I like to walk the building and wish a good morning to all Members and my team

What gets you out of bed in the morning:
The sense of accomplishment when I make a positive difference is the most rewarding experience I could think of and this feeling gets me out of bed every day

What does good care mean to you:
Good care to me is focusing care on the needs of individual, ensuring personal preferences, needs and values are respected.
