It means a lot to me that I have a role that combines my professional skills with my passion for promoting a healthy lifestyle. For me, being somewhere that values it’s employees health, values it’s employees learning and values it’s employees opinions makes for a rewarding place to work.
I came into this role because I wanted to make a difference. I want to help people improve their lives and this is something we can achieve at North Yorkshire Sport.
I have a had a positive lifelong relationship with sport and physical activity, from football, karate and cycling as a youngster to long distance running as an adult, but it gained an added importance when I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Being active every day is absolutely crucial in helping me manage my condition both from a physical and mental perspective.
“Being active every day makes it easier to hear that inner voice.”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running
Contact me if you want to talk about the workforce: both the traditional sporting workforce and the non-traditional, such as colleagues in the health sector. A lot of my work is geared towards bringing the physical activity and health sectors closer together.
