Having battled an eating disorder myself, I have always aspired to work in a role where I could help others suffering with mental health issues. I started working with Beat in September 2022 as a helpline adviser before moving to the Programmes team earlier this year. Supporting sufferers and their loved ones has been the greatest privilege of my working life to date, and I am constantly amazed by the strength and courage displayed by the people we support. I look forward to assisting as many people as I can through my work at Beat for years to come!
