I’m an economist, I’ve run an award winning small business, and above all I’m a mum who cares passionately about community and making a difference. I want to listen to your views and to be your voice in Westminster, so that together we can continue to make Chester South and Eddisbury an even better place to live and work.

I’ve visited businesses, farms, community groups, and charities across our community, and I’ve spoken to hundreds of people to hear about the issues that matter most to you. I care passionately about our area, this is where my husband was brought up and where I spent my formative teenage years. There is so much we can do to help, support, build and champion our community, and I am committed to working tirelessly to deliver for you.
