About Me
I grew up in a small Oxfordshire town, famed for it's historic market and brewery. It was a great place to grow up but it wasn't a great place for building a career. My first move, aged 17, was to Leeds where I worked in a call-centre. This was followed by a move to London, to work in hotels before I finally got stuck in to a career in charity communications.
I've worked for one of the world's largest disaster relief agencies, worked for an organisation that represents faith groups to government, and am now working for a housing association.
Whilst my parents often struggled to pay the bills, I benefitted from a strong community around us. This gave me stability and opportunity and I am dedicated to ensuring everyone receives the same. I believe that strong communities provide better answers than politicians.
I can't stand waste. I have no interest in a political career and I believe in radical transparency. (Watch this space)
My priorities are to the residents first and my party second, before myself.
