My name is Fern, I am a Client Support Staff member and Meal Preparation Staff at yatra, combining my passion for people with my love for cooking. I have over two and a half years of experience working directly with clients in therapeutic and recovery-focused environments, where I have developed a strong understanding of the unique needs, backgrounds, and challenges of different individuals.

As a staff member, my role involves providing daily support, building trust, ensuring clients feel safe and comfortable, and helping create a positive environment throughout their recovery journey. Working closely with people from diverse cultures and life experiences has taught me the importance of empathy, patience, active listening, and personalized care. I understand that every client is different, and I strive to adapt my approach to meet their individual needs while maintaining professionalism and compassion.

Alongside my client support responsibilities, I pursue my passion for culinary arts by preparing nutritious and personalized meals. I enjoy creating menus that support individual health goals while ensuring that food remains enjoyable and satisfying. Whether a client requires a specific nutritional plan or simply a balanced and wholesome diet, I take pride in preparing meals that promote both physical well-being and emotional comfort.
