“In 2020, I was offered the opportunity to join East Kent Foot Care and I jumped at the chance! Having qualified as a Foot Health Practitioner with the SMAE Institute in 2019 (following in my father’s footsteps- excuse the pun!), my skillset and knowledge adheres to the latest medical practices to ensure the best possible support and treatment for your feet. Having previously worked in a variety of customer service roles, I have developed the skills needed to provide person-centred care; patience, attentiveness, and empathy. My dream is to further develop my knowledge base and work towards qualifying as a podiatry assistant and in time, a podiatrist!
