I moved to Midsomer Norton 3 years ago with my husband Chris, our grown up son and our dog.

I have a fresh view on the town and having moved from a thriving village with a real sense of community and a buzz of activity I can see what could be done to help Midsomer Norton become the place to be!

I have worked in the health and social care sector for over 18 years. This has been in mental health, learning disability and older adult services. I have a passion for ensuring that everyone has the chance to get their voices heard and have experience of using alternative methods of communication.

I am not afraid to express my views, I most certainly will not go along with everyone else just to keep the peace. I will go out of my way to communicate with others in both traditional and modern methods. I hope I get the chance to bring fresh views and ideas to the council.
