I’ve lived and worked in Kent my most of my working life and am deeply connected to this community. I understand the unique challenges that local people face, and with my background in housing, community services, and public safety, I’m now seeking to represent the residents of Kent in the upcoming County Council elections.

​

Currently, I work as a Regional Place Manager in Housing, where I address key issues residents face daily, from rent arrears to mental health struggles and overall community wellbeing. I understand social housing inside and out and have a strong sense of empathy for the difficulties people face. At 24, I began my management career with Social Enterprise Kent as a Contract Manager, responsible for delivering East Kent’s community navigation services, tackling social isolation, loneliness, and addressing healthcare, social care, and community health needs.

​

I left university with a degree in Policing and have since gained valuable experience in Community Safety, which has equipped me with deep knowledge of how essential safety and well-being are in our neighborhoods.

​

In 2023, I was elected as a Thanet District Councillor for Dane Valley, and for the past 15 years, I’ve been heavily involved in the community. I currently serve as Chair of Governors at Northdown Primary School and previously as a Governor at Drapers Mills. I’ve worked on major local events, such as the Margate Carnival and Margate Christmas events, and founded the Dane Valley Residents Association. Additionally, I’ve volunteered as an adult in the RAF Air Cadets and was recently honored to become the Mayor of Margate.

​

As a candidate for Kent County Council, I’m dedicated to improving the lives of our residents and working towards a safer, fairer, and more prosperous future for Kent. I believe in the power of collaboration, working closely with local organisations, public services, and residents to bring about positive change. I am passionate about making Kent a place where everyone can thrive, and I’ll work tirelessly to ensure our communities are safe, vibrant, and supported.
