I am currently a councillor in Grove ward and have been since 2004 when I won a by-election and was then re-elected in 2006. This time round, I have opted to stand in Chessington South where I live with my husband and 2 sons. I enjoy music and reading and spending time with my family. I have a degree in Politics and I worked in theme park engineering for nearly 12 years until the birth of my second child in January 2009.

I have always said I want to be in local politics to be able to give back to the community that has always supported me and I still stand by that. Participating in the work we do on the Council for the borough that I have lived in, been educated in and worked in all my life is a very fulfilling job. I enjoy being able to make a positive difference to people’s lives by helping them with issues.
