Personal Details
I was born and bred in Newton Abbot and attended a local primary and senior school in the town.
On leaving school I trained to become a hairdresser working in a local salon.
I later began working at Coombeshead Academy where I give support to students with behaviour and social problems. I retired in 2013 to concentrate on my council role and ward
I have two sons, my eldest works in Exeter after spending 3yrs in the Army and my youngest son is a Chef at a well-known restaurant in Kingsteignton.
I very much enjoy my role as a Councillor and am always keen to support the town in any way I can.
I am very much involved with the ATC as a civilian trustee and a member of Highweek Primary School governing body.
