Growing up, I never felt that politics had a place for someone like me.

Full statement

Living with undiagnosed disabilities and being labelled a "problem child" at school, I know what it feels like to be dismissed, overlooked, and left out of decisions that affect your life.

That is why I am standing to be your County Councillor. Our community deserves leaders who understand the barriers people face, who listen to every voice, and who fight for the change we need. I want to show that no matter your background, you deserve to be heard and valued.

Since moving to Cheltenham in 2019 from Gloucester, I have made my home in St Paul's, but I am here to represent everyone in both St Paul's and Pittville. I know the challenges we face: housing that feels out of reach, neglected roads, and services that do not work for everyone. I believe Pittville and St Paul's deserve a representative who listens, understands, and takes action.

I want to be a voice for everyone in our community, for residents who have lived here their whole lives, people raising their families, students building their future, and those who feel ignored or left behind. Together, we can build a community that is fairer, greener, and stronger for all of us.
