I have always liked to give something back to my community whenever I can.

Full statement

Since joining the Liberal Democrats I have been encouraged to engage in local politics, campaigning to improve my local area and the lives of fellow residents.

Voter participation and engaged democracy are things I care for passionately and have worked to improve all of my adult life, particularly amongst younger voters. Whilst campaigning for Remain in the EU referendum, I spoke and took part in events motivating voters to sign up and make their voices heard and I believe that the public should be given the opportunity to have a vote on the final Brexit deal.

I am also passionate about the environment, as a member of several organisations and volunteering with conservation groups.

Born in Norwich, I live locally in Sewell, and work in the city centre.
