      Seasoned addiction recovery professional with a remarkable journey! In 2014, I took on the challenge of single-handedly establishing and managing Steps2Recovery, a transformative haven for 12 individuals battling addiction. Through unwavering dedication I provided crucial support as the senior counsellor until November 27th, 2016. Our collective efforts were recognised when Step2Recovery won the prestigious Centre for Social Justice Award in March 2017. Despite not being invited back or acknowledged for this achievement, my passion for empowering lives remained undeterred. Show less
