I have lived in Chessington for over 30 years. Married with 3 children, I have worked in the voluntary and private sector.

I was Vice Chair of the local Residents Association before being elected as Councillor for Chessington South in 1998. Since then, I have had a number of roles on the Council including: Co-Chair of South of the Borough Neighbourhood; Chair of Environment Overview Panel; Executive Member for the Environment; Executive member for Highways; Transportation and Planning; and am currently Executive Member for Children and Young People's Services.

I also support my husband in running our IT support business. I am a keen supporter of Kingston Wildcats under-16 basketball team. I enjoy cooking and make 'Novelty Cakes'.

I have been a volunteer with Chessington and Hook Community Care Scheme since 1988 and enjoy meeting and helping people in the community.
