Pembrokeshire has been my home for 15 years having been born and raised in London.

Full statement

Pembrokeshire the people and the place is in my heart in my core. My family background is that of Black Asylum seekers and Black Migrants. It has been in their DNA to serve and sacrifice for this country with combined service of 65 years to date in NHS Nursing, Voluntary Sector elderly care and Dentistry. I have been honoured to serve Pembrokeshire as a secondary school supply teacher for 12 years and latterly as a Student Nurse with Swansea University and Hywel Dda for nearly 3 years. Currently I am a full-time carer for my mother. With my first hand experience in The Public Education, Health and Social care sectors along with my love and compassion for all in constituency it will be an honour to serve Mid and South Pembrokeshire as your MP. It will be a two-way service where we will be giving and receiving from each other through learning and engaging with each other. By pulling together as Independent we will be in a unique position to serve the best interests of our community, free from the shackles of Party Politics but knowing that will have to work in union with them.
