I’m excited to share my journey with you as I prepare stand for election next year to represent you in the States Assembly. This page is all about giving you a chance to get to know me, my work, and my vision for our community.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ve included plenty of photos capturing the work I’ve done - both in the Parish and beyond - over the past few years. Take a look, explore, and see what I’ve been up to!
I’d love to hear from you, so feel free to contact me and share your thoughts. Together, we can make a difference! Within the Parish, I actively contribute in the following roles:
Member of the Parish Rates Committee
Editor of the Parish magazine, La Cloche
Member of the St Saviour Community Volunteer Group
Member of the Twinning Association
These roles allow me to stay closely connected with the community and contribute to the Parish’s development and well-being.

Member of the Parish Rates Committee
I became a member of the Parish Rates Committee in January 2025 to gain a deeper understanding of the parish's operations.
I considered the Rates Department an excellent starting point, offering valuable insights into the processes of setting the parish rate.

Although some may regard rates as an uninteresting subject, I find great satisfaction in learning about the system and its influence on our community.
La Cloche - the Parish Magazine of St Saviour
I joined the Editorial Team in September 2023 and became the Editor in March 2024.
I value my role as Editor of the parish magazine, which allows me to connect with parishioners, highlight local achievements, and help foster a stronger sense of community. It’s been a practical way to lead through service and collaboration.

(as a volunteer for OLIO) 2021
I hosted a Sole Hope Shoe Party in 2020. We had detailed instructions to create shoe upper portions from recycled denim. The end product are shoes that are durable, protective, and will go directly to children in need in Uganda. Sole Hope, is an organization committed to fighting foot diseases in East Africa.
By educating communities, providing medical aid, creating jobs, and distributing shoes, they strive to eliminate the suffering caused by jiggers, a detrimental parasite, and to foster healthier communities.
I have been in the complementary/holistic health business for over forty years, both teaching in FE colleges, as a practising therapist and running my own business.
As such it was a fantastic opportunity to visit a Lavender farm in Provence - the lavender in this field was distilled into essential oil by the end of the day. I still use essential oils today for my own personal use and also in the bereavement counselling work I do.

The Parish Community Volunteer Group was set up out of need during the lock down of 2020.
We are always looking for new parishioners to join us - especially car drivers. We offer lifts to and from hospital appointments, for those without transport, and we offer services as collecting prescriptions, and even shopping.
