I'm a primary school teacher, languages graduate and mum of two. My younger son has complex medical needs and my family has found a supportive haven in Bushy Leaze since his diagnosis. I feel very lucky to have such a fantastic centre in Alton and am keen to support its further development in any way I can. When not looking after my boys, I can be found reading, drinking too much coffee and running 5ks very slowly.

Wellbeing Governor As a mum of two children, who both had a lovely experience of pre-school, I feel that pre-school plays an important role in helping families to be happy and healthy. As a psychologist, I have a keen interest in parental wellbeing and mental health.

Vice Chair I have lived in Alton for 40 years, and I am married with three grown up children, and two grandchildren. I served as a Governor at another Primary School in Alton for 15 years, the last 5 as Chair. I retired from full-time work as an Accountant in 2021 at the same firm after 47 years, the last 12 years as Partner/Director. I am currently the School Crossing Patrol at Andrews Endowed School. I am also a Trustee of a number of local charities and organisations.
