First aid has been part of my life from an early age. I first trained as a first aider at 13 years old as an Army Cadet, where I developed a strong foundation in emergency response, teamwork and remaining calm under pressure. That early experience sparked a lasting commitment to practical, hands-on first aid.

​

Today, I deliver HSE-compliant first aid courses to businesses, groups and individuals across Nottingham and the UK. My aim is simple: to ensure every delegate leaves feeling confident, capable and prepared to act when it matters most.

​

Professional Background

 

Alongside running React Well, I continue to work as a veterinary nurse. Working in clinical environments has strengthened my ability to think clearly, communicate calmly and make measured decisions in high-pressure situations.

 

Both roles share the same core principles — preparation, clarity and confidence. Whether supporting a clinical team or delivering an HSE-compliant first aid course, I believe practical skills and calm decision-making are what truly make a difference.

 

I also work as an Associate Instructor for SkillBase First Aid,  All courses I deliver, whether through React Well or as an Associate Instructor for SkillBase First Aid, are HSE compliant.

​

My Approach to Training

 

I believe first aid training should be:

​

• Practical and hands-on

• Clear and easy to understand

• Supportive and inclusive

• Confidence-building

• Open to questions

​

My courses are structured to create a professional but relaxed learning environment, where delegates feel comfortable practising skills and asking questions. The feedback I consistently receive highlights clear delivery, patience and an approachable teaching style — qualities I value highly.

For me, first aid training is not about ticking a box. It is about equipping people with skills they can genuinely rely on.

​

Outside of Training

​

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my pets, travelling and exploring wildlife. I am a keen scuba diver and have been fortunate to experience everything from safari in Kenya to driving a husky sled in Sweden, as well as wildlife trips to Costa Rica and Norway — seeing everything from lions and elephants to orcas and the northern lights.

​

Scotland holds a special place in my heart, and I have visited annually for over two decades. Time spent outdoors and exploring different environments has reinforced my appreciation for preparation, resilience and staying calm — qualities that are equally important in first aid.

​

Why React Well?

​

React Well was founded to provide high-quality, professional HSE-compliant first aid training that is engaging, practical and confidence-led.

​

Whether you are booking training for your workplace or attending as an individual, my goal is to deliver clear, supportive instruction that ensures you feel prepared to respond effectively in real-life situations.
