President’s message
It is an honour to be serving the Region as incoming Regional President and rather than just be a name I felt it would be helpful to introduce myself to you.
I trained as an Audiologist and after 12 years in the Health Service I left to be a short term volunteer with the African Inland Mission in Kenya. On returning to the UK I went on to train as a Hearing Therapist and now works as an Independent Hearing Therapist within both the Public and Private sectors. I provide services to the local hospitals and run my own private practice offering a range of services including hearing aids, tinnitus management, balance management, communication skills and lip reading . I am also a visiting lecturer in Audiological Rehabilitation at Sunderland University.
I joined SI Darlington and District in 1988 and have served on the Club Executive several times, have been Club Programme Action Officer, Club President, and Regional Representative for the Club.
I am actively involved in the Guide Movement being both a unit Guider and a Trainer for the Association.
I still play hockey for Darlington Ladies Hockey Club, and am actively involved in my local church.
I look am looking forward to my year in office and would be very happy to come to your club meetings and functions.
