Tracy

I’m Tracy, a Service Manager with Change Grow Live, having joined SmokeFree Hull in 2019. I love my role, every day is different, and I’m proud to work with a passionate team supporting people to lead healthier lives. Outside work, I’m an avid Leeds United fan who stays active through the gym and walks with my dog. I enjoy games nights, value time with family and friends, and love travelling to new countries and embracing different cultures.

 

Shaneen

I’m Shaneen and I work as a Specialist SmokeFree Advisor and have been with the team since 2010. I spend most of my working time supporting people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease to stop smoking, and it’s great to see them achieve their goals. Outside of work I love spending time in the great outdoors, mainly running and walking. I also enjoy baking cakes and eating them! Reading a good book helps me wind down too.

 

Emily

Hi, I’m Emily and I work as a SmokeFree Advisor, and I have been with the team since 2011. I really enjoy helping people to achieve their goals and see the benefits to quitting smoking. Outside of work I love spending time with my family and friends, and I’m a lover of sweet treats, but keep active through playing hockey and swimming.

 

 

Chelsea

Hello, I’m Chelsea and I have been supporting people to stop smoking for over 14 years. My role is helping people in the community particularly those with a diagnosis of serious mental health to stop smoking, which is challenging, but very rewarding at the same time. I love socialising and spending time going to music festivals, (particularly 80s gigs,) and watching Netflix, (horror and sci-fi are my fav!). I love keeping active and enjoy walking. I also have two rescue cats who keeps me on my toes, but I wouldn’t be without them.

 

Emma

Hi, I’m Emma, a Specialist SmokeFree Advisor.  I have worked for SmokeFree Hull for many years and enjoy working as part of the team supporting people to stop smoking in Hull. Outside of work I spend time with my family, and I also enjoy watching football, cheering for my home team Gillingham!

 

Lorraine

Hi, I’m Lorraine, a SmokeFree Advisor. My background is in counselling and working with families as a support worker. I’ve previously worked for the service, so I’m thrilled to be amongst this friendly and dedicated team. Outside of work I enjoy reading, listening to music and going to the theatre, musicals being my favourite genre! I also go wild swimming, but only when it’s warm. I am a Nana to a four-year-old grandson, and a baby granddaughter, and spending time with them is an absolute pleasure!

 

Jo

Hi, I’m Jo, a SmokeFree Advisor. I will work with you during your support to help you achieve your goal to quit smoking. I really enjoy the work that we do, it’s rewarding to help people make such a huge change in their life which will benefit them in so many ways. I enjoy getting to know our clients and providing support to meet their individual needs. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

 

Mhairi

Hi, I’m Mhairi (pronounced with a “V”), and I’ve worked as a Stop Smoking Specialist Advisor for years, as I’m passionate about helping our clients. I’m a proud Scot, but I do love my adopted home in England - even if there’s a few clashes occasionally (Scotland v England Rugby Union Six Nations), which is another passion of mine. I live with my beautiful white cat Bella, enjoy hot sunny weather and going on holiday. I’m excited to get the travelling bug again.

 

Tanya

Hi, I’m Tanya, a SmokeFree Advisor. I’ve always supported people in the social work/counselling field, and I really enjoy working with such an amazing team supporting people to quit smoking too. Outside of work I love spending time with family and friends, listening and dancing to music, outdoor swimming, travelling and interior design. I’m also guilty of bingeing on TV series too!

 

 

David

Hello, I’m David and I have been working for the stop smoking service since 2009 as a Stop Smoking Advisor. My role is supporting people to quit smoking in community venues or by telephone support. Outside of work I like to potter around the garden and feed the birds. When I’m not in the garden, I like to listen to music and watch television – particularly science fiction and food programmes.
