Emma Ovenstone

My name is Emma Ovenstone and I’m the new Community Living Worker for Dalkeith in Midlothian.

At 17 I started off my career as a Dental Nurse in my home town Kirriemuir.  Once I qualified in this field, I decided I wanted to see the world, so I moved to New Zealand – where I lived for 5 years. This is where I learned to be a Snowboarding Instructor. Which is a big passion of mine.

For the last 11 years I worked Offshore as a Radio Operator. But decided the corporate environment and working away from home, wasn’t for me anymore. I wanted to find a career where I could make a difference in peoples lives and so here I am working for Neighbourhood Networks.

I’m a big fan of Nature, my cat Kiki, my Mountain Bike, Traveling and Music. I believe kindness goes a long way in life and really look forward to developing my skills further in this role.
