I grew up watching my parents work hard for our family and serve our local community with dedication. My dad a college teacher and my mum a care assistant at the local care home. I want to make that same difference to people as their local representative.
I have been fortunate to enjoy a successful career so far. I work for the NHS providing business analysis and clinical application support.
I attended my local community school, St Cenydd. I was lucky to be taken on as an apprentice and studied at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. That experience changed my life and as a result I am passionate about ensuring everybody has access to a great education, and most importantly have access to quality apprenticeships. I have been on the school council when a pupil, and a member of the schools Eco Club.
In 2022 I stood as a candidate in the Caerphilly Council elections in my local ward of Penyrheol.
ABOUT ME
2022 LOCAL ELECTIONS
It was an honour and a privilege and stand as a Welsh Conservative candidate for my local ward Penyrheol. Although, unelected the experience and opportunity to meet local residents and discuss their priorities and concerns was refreshing and reaffirmed the reason I wanted to stand.
I want to say a big thank you to all those who voted for me, and voted Welsh Conservative for the first time. There is a clear appetite for change and I will continue to champion the vision and values we hold.
