I’m a mum, dog lover, and someone who enjoys the simple things in life. I love cooking, baking, crafts, and spending time with family and friends. I’m quite lively, have a good sense of humour, and care deeply about the people around me.
Mental health, disability, and parenting are subjects I’m passionate about because they’ve been a big part of my life and shaped who I am.
