Having been born and
bred in Dewsbury, it is a real pleasure for me to now work in the area. I
have worked in the retail trade and in the world of training. I joined
Pathfinder in January 2006 as the Community Safety Officer and now have the
opportunity to put what I have learnt over the years into practice, across
the Dewsbury West area. |

I come from Bolton but
have spent the last 17 years working with different communities in the South

issues.

Having spent many
years working in the voluntary sector and more recently as a Funding Officer

other areas into developing a robust strategy for tackling many of the
issues facing disadvantaged neighbourhoods in our area and further a field. |
