I’m a proud Cornish native and I made my triumphant return to Cornwall in 2019 after years of living in London and travelling the world as a specialist spray tanning technician on the bodybuilding circuit.
My diverse work experience includes managing a chain of 25 charity shops, working in hospitality, and currently pursuing my passion as a self-employed mermaid and sewist who loves upcycling and repurposing. I’m also the production manager for an international sea shanty band, where you can often find me sewing, swimming, or spinning in circles.
With a degree in International Development and NGO Management, I am a proud mother to an amazing son and firmly believe in the importance of leaving the world a little better than we found it.
I am honored to be a part of Cornwall Mind and the amazing work that they do, making the world a little bit better for so many people.
I’m over the moon to be able to support Cornwall Mind.
I have lived experience of post natal depression and PTSD and am diagnosed with Autism, ADHD and dyslexia.
I’m dedicated to supporting my children, caring for my mother, and working as a professional mermaid artist and performer. Additionally, I’m an SSI Ocean Mermaid Freediving Instructor with Aquacity Freediving.
My background includes working in the creative industries, where I held roles such as event manager, producer, makeup artist, and stylist. Now, I write and perform my own children’s stories that focus on mental health and ocean conservation. Having lived in various locations across the UK, including Edinburgh, West Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and now Cornwall, I have gained a diverse range of experiences.
In Lincolnshire I worked alongside Lincoln Mind setting up and running a ‘Mums for Mind’ post natal depression support network.
I’m the founder and co-ordinator of The Cornish Merpod, a collective of professional and hobby mermaids performing around Cornwall. I started mermaid fundraising for Cornwall Mind back in 2019 doing wash ups on beaches and talking about mental health within the community.
I’m thrilled to be a part of such important work and look forward to continuing to make a positive impact on mental health in Cornwall.
