I was born and raised in Battle Ward and have been part of this community for over 40 years.

Full statement

With a background in corporate work and experience training professionals in mental health and social care, I bring both practical knowledge, lived experience and genuine compassion to issues that matter in Battle Ward.

I've volunteered locally for many years, including running support groups, working in suicide prevention and helping adults from diverse backgrounds build confidence in English and Maths. My community activities currently include musical performances with a band, for local care homes, which brings me joy as much as the residents(I hope!)

Now retired, I'm standing for Reform UK to offer common sense representation - respectfully listening to residents, supporting access to services and working to keep Battle Ward safe, inclusive and well served.
