Tracy

Hi, I’m Tracy, I’ve worked all around Yorkshire as a Service Manager for Change Grow Live and started at SmokeFree Hull in 2019. I love my job as each day is different and I’m fortunate to work with a passionate and dedicated team. I love hearing feedback from clients who now lead healthier lives. Outside of work I spend time with family/friends, and stay active by going to the gym, walking, playing football with my nephew, and camping. I have ‘wanderlust’ and will be taking full advantage over the next few years.

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.

James

Hi, I'm James, a SmokeFree Hull Advisor with a background in social work. By day, I help people quit smoking, and by night, I'm a chess enthusiast with an Elo of 1400—just enough to beat my friends, but not enough to join the grandmasters…yet! When I'm not strategizing on the board, I devour a non-fiction book a week and hit the gym thrice to keep my mind focused, my body fit, and my squats strong!

Chelsea

Hello, I’m Chelsea and I have been supporting people to stop smoking for over ten years. My role is helping expectant mums to stop smoking, which is challenging, but very rewarding at the same time. I love socialising and spending time going to music festivals, (particularly 80’s gigs,) and watching Netflix, (horror and sci-fi are my fav!). I love keeping active and enjoy walking. I also have a kitten who keeps me on my toes, but I wouldn’t be without him.

Jayne N

Hi I’m Jayne, I’m new to the team as I joined SmokeFree Hull in 2022, but I’ve worked in stop smoking support before. I’m looking forward to being part of this amazing team supporting people to quit smoking in Hull. I spend my weekends walking in the country with my husband and our German Shepherd Elsa, and we love to visit waterfalls if we can. I also enjoy holidays abroad, sunny weather, and sitting in my garden having a BBQ.

Emma

Hi, I’m Emma a Specialist SmokeFree Advisor for Smoking in Pregnancy. I have worked for SmokeFree Hull since 2008 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 covering maternity leave. Outside of work I sing in a choir and enjoy going to the theatre to see musicals. I also go wild swimming, but only when it’s warm, and look after my baby grandson one day a week, which 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 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. My background is supporting people in the social work/counselling field, and I’m delighted that I’m now part of 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 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.

Sheryl

Hi, I’m Sheryl, I’ve worked for SmokeFree Hull for 17 years as an Administrator and I’m one of the first people you’ll speak to when arranging an appointment. I enjoy speaking to our clients, reassuring them that their journey to be a non-smoker will be pleasant and stress-free. Outside of work I care for family members, enjoy baking, crafts and long walks on the beach. My favourite animals are horses, and in my younger days I loved horse riding, so one day I’ll get back to it!
