Born and bred in South Ribble, I'm the fifth generation of my family to call this beautiful part of the UK home.

I have worked for the Red Cross, Lancashire County Council, and Lancaster University. In each role I've worked hard to help people, and I aim to continue this as an elected a councillor for Bamber Bridge West.

I'm a proud member of a trade union, a supporter of the Co-operative movement, and a believer in the founding principles of the Labour movement.

I believe in the power of collective action, both at work and in the community. We are all stronger when we act together to help each other and the people of our community.

You can read more about the community groups I'm part of on the community groups page.
