I was born in Southampton but settled in Alton in 2013.

Full statement

My husband, Jon, and I fell in love with the beauty of this town and its welcoming community. We married locally and have built our life here, and we are proud to raise our family here.

My career has been as a registered nurse, a specialist community public health nurse, and now a teacher of nursing, and health and social care at a college. I have had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, supporting them through some of their most challenging times. Working on the front lines of healthcare, I’ve seen first-hand how policy decisions affect people’s lives. This experience has shaped my deep commitment to public service and my passion for empowering others.

I’m standing as a candidate because I believe in authentic representation. Alton deserves infrastructure, especially healthcare services, that matches its growth. It is vital that we protect public health and wellbeing as councils navigate financial challenges. I am determined to bring my experiences to the council, advocate for the community, and ensure that residents’ voices are heard.
