"I joined Northamptonshire Police via Police Now’s National Graduate Leadership Programme, beginning my policing career as a neighbourhood officer in Wellingborough. I had always known I wanted to be in a public facing role where I could make a difference to people’s lives.
When I reflect back on my career, all I can say is that the variety in policing is huge. If you take the opportunities that are presented to you, there are so many areas of policing to branch into and so many different ways you can make a positive impact on people’s lives and on society."
