Orginally I was born in Taunton and came back to have a family here 20 years ago. I have been actively involved in the Taunton community ever since.   

I am a founder member of Friends of French Weir Park, spent 12 years as a governor of North Town School and am a trustee of 2BU Somerset. I ran my own catering business before becoming the marketing officer for Somerset Registration Service, as well as working with the Library service.

I’m passionate about building a strong, vibrant community and making Taunton the best it can be.

It has been an honour to be Deputy Leader of the Council since May 2024.
