I am a proud Islander who grew up next to Branstone Farm, went to Newchurch Primary School and got married at All Saints church. I have a deep love for our countryside and the communities that care for it. Through my work as a Development Manager at a conservation charity, I understand both the environmental challenges we face and the everyday pressures affecting Island families – from rising costs and transport issues, to education and healthcare. I want to work with the council to deliver practical solutions that put people first, strengthen our local services, and protect the Island we all call home.
