Alex has always had a passion for working in a person-centred role and supporting those in disadvantaged positions. She has previously volunteered for the Guernsey Sports Commission on the outreach team and became a qualified expedition supervisor for the Duke of Edinburgh.

Her passion is why she is here! Alex is well-versed at using her skills and experience to build strong relationships with both job seekers and employers alike. She is particularly devoted to empowering job seekers to increase their wellbeing, independence and confidence.

In her spare time Alex loves enjoys being active, being outdoors and being with family and friends; from cycling, cliff-walking, gym, beach BBQ’s or year-round sea swimming. She is also a keen environmentalist and loves reading - even if it is Harry Potter yet again!
