Born in Huntingdon moving to West Bletchley at the age of 6 where I was bought up and schooled locally.

Full statement

Upon leaving school I worked at Watts Industrial Tyres, becoming one of their youngest Managers at 18. Leaving Watts to become self-employed, within my family’s Chemical business selling mainly to trade provided me the platform I enjoyed the most – Sales -meeting people face to face. This was where I met my husband, a Dairy Farmer from Haversham.

As a team we soon built up an impressive portfolio of retail & wholesale customers eager to purchase the home produced fresh Milk from his Family Farm herd of 250 Friesian Dairy cattle.

Our family moved to Spain 2006 educating our 2 daughters, immersing ourselves in another culture, enjoying the outdoors life with horse riding and local amateur dramatics whilst gaining much needed family time was irreplaceable.

Returning to UK 2012 to be close to our children as they started their university life, I threw myself back into various projects.

I work part time for a charity organisation Home Instead Care which facilitates care for the elderly within their home environment. As a networker within this organisation part of my work involved communicating between local and nation charities, such as MK Bus Shelter & MK Act, also involving The Moran Centre, Scots Bowls Club orchestrating help and guidance where required for the elderly, which is immensely rewarding.

From this first hand work I became passionate about local issues and concerns for the elderly and became drawn into politics wishing to try to make a difference.
