I have lived in East Hendred for over 20 years and I am known locally as an active member of the community, particularly regarding the environment.

Full statement

I am a parish councillor and I co-founded the local environment group, chairing it for many years.

My professional background is in science and data and I now work in social impact investment, which allows me to support businesses and organisations that make positive environmental and community impacts in the UK and in emerging economies. I have experience of renewable energy technologies and I’m a volunteer guide at a local community owned wind and solar farm. As a parish councillor I am involved in the transport and environment working groups and in the Harwell campus liaison group.

I want to represent the interests of the people in my local area, and to help to deliver a healthy, sustainable district with an optimistic future. The importance of local services is clear to us all in the current cost of living crisis.

I am a parent and it’s really important to me that our district meets our current needs in a way that leaves us able to meet our long term needs too, so that it is still a great place to live for future generations
