I was born in Cape Town, South Africa during the apartheid era, and l became very politically aware from an early age, and developed very liberal ideas from talking with various friends who felt the same.

Full statement

As a young adult l managed to travel extensively overseas and this opened my eyes to how people lived in other countries.

AFter meeting my husband, we emigrated to the UK. In 2000 and having 3 children, we moved into Lower Earley and have lived here ever since. All our children went to local primary and secondary schools. I then became very involved with local politics and served on Earley Town Council from 2011 until 2019, also being elected Town Mayor in 2015.

We love living in Lower Earley and enjoy all that it offers. I would now like to contribute to keeping our wonderful town clean, green and environmentally friendly. I am passionate about providing youth services and creating a safe environment for our young people. I will dedicate all my time to serving all residents of our wonderful town and look very much forward to meeting and speaking with as many of you as possible.
