I moved to Godalming seven years ago and chose it because it’s such a beautiful place to live. I was elected to Godalming Town Council in 2023. Being a town councillor has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I am the treasurer for the Farncombe Day Centre and also the rehoming lead for the local branch of a national animal welfare charity. In my spare time, I love hiking, keeping fit and growing my own fruit and veg.

Establishing the new West Surrey Unitary authority is going to be an important and challenging process. As a finance professional, I have managed numerous transformation programmes and delivered significant efficiencies. This includes service organisations that contract to local authorities, and informs my ability to scrutinise service levels and supplier contracts
