Lisa has been working in this sector for more than 17 years and for the Royal Borough of Greenwich since 2004.

Lisa values herself as being a creative and solutions-focused leader. She has led her team and advisory group through changes from a Sure Start programme to a single Children’s Centre and further into the current arrangement.

Lisa is determined to maintain a positive approach to partnership working and holds strong values in ensuring that she fully supports the centres and families in reaching their full potential including work which develops self-esteem and aspirations of women and mothers and also encouraging male carers to take an active role in their child’s development.

Lisa is particularly driven to overcome the immediate and longer term effects of low self-esteem and confidence on families and the increased risk this brings in terms of poverty and underachievement.
