DaI was born and raised in Bradford, and other than a year spent working in Greece I have never left. I qualified as a Nursery Nurse after leaving school and spent many years working in a variety of Early years setting including being part of the first Sure Start Centre in Bradford. From here my role became more about supporting children and families and parent education. During this time I became a mother myself and began to juggle family life, work and higher education. I currently work at Bradford college teaching Early Years, Health and Care and spend all of my spare time with my family.
