Hi, I’m Gabe, Regional Manager for NFA Wales. Growing up in a family that fostered helped lead me to a career in Social Work. After studying Psychology at Bangor University and gaining a Masters in Social Work from Cardiff, I worked in Child Protection before joining Independent Foster Carers Services (later to become a part of the NFA), working as a duty Supervising Social Worker, placements manager and team manager before taking on my current role. The team of foster parents, social workers and all other staff here in NFA Wales are a continuous inspiration to me, being part of this incredible community and seeing the difference foster parents make in the lives of the young people we work for-and the incredible outcomes our young people achieve-is an amazing privilege.
