I've lived in the ward of Great Malvern for the past 11 years after growing up in Malvern Wells.

Full statement

I am honoured to live in a beautiful and vibrant place. Great Malvern is a mix of well-loved heritage and aspiring development - We are the heart of The Malverns.

I care about future generations and creating opportunity. I dedicate my working life to promoting Apprenticeships to large organisations; I invest my time in developing our young people and giving people the skills they need.

I used to own a clothing and shoe shop in Great Malvern, called Mode. I passionate about keeping High Street alive; a place where we want to visit and sped our money in local independent businesses. I have first hand experience of the highs and lows of running a shop and what support they need from their Council.

I love being part of our community. I am on the Commercial Committee of Malvern Rugby Club, bringing rugby to all by keeping the lights on and securing the club’s financial future.

I was your District and Town Councillor for 8 years until 2019. As your Councillor I worked with developers on major projects like the Old Hospital site to ensure it was in keeping with our ward. As Chair of Overview & Scrutiny, I significantly improved the delivery of the Council’s Disability Facility Grants – giving people the help they need, when they need it. I also bought the string Christmas lights to Great Malvern, bringing festive joy!

As a young professional, I will bring back a younger voice on the Council, standing up for young families and those that choose to make a life in our town, whilst listening and delivering for all.
