Interests:
Alongside my role as a councillor, I hold a degree in Political Science from King’s College London, where I developed a strong foundation in governance, policymaking, and community development. I have built experience across policy, education, and research, including roles as a Policy Advisor at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and a Research Analyst for a national LGBTQ+ charity. I am passionate about youth empowerment and education, which led me to support literacy initiatives through Bookmark Reading Charity. I enjoy volunteering, organising inclusive community events, and championing access to public services.

Being a Councillor:
“I became a Councillor because I believe real change starts at the community level. Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council gave me a platform to listen, represent and act—making a difference where it truly matters, close to home.”
