​Like many young people, I was enthused to join the Labour Party when I first heard Jeremy Corbyn speak when he stood as Leader of the Labour Party. His condemnation of austerity & his vision for the future resonated with me and gave me hope. Immediately I became involved with the local Party and have been Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary at different times since then. I stood for Cornwall and Town Councils in 2017 and then was heavily involved in the 2017 General Election canvassing both in St Austell & in Newquay. I was priviledged to be the Youth Delegate at two Labour Conferences representing St Austell & Newquay members. I was born in St Austell where my family still live, I work in care and I have a 8 month old son.

I am standing for Labour in Newquay Porth & Tretherras as the pandemic has highlighted the inequalities across our area and I want to work with the residents to improve opportunities for the many, not the few.

Residents' Survey

I would really like to meet you all & hear your views & concerns but that has been difficult during a pandemic.  So I have created an online residents’ survey which I’d be really grateful if you could complete & also share with others in the area.

My pledges to you
​It is more difficult than ever for young people to get onto the property ladder due to low wages and ever rising prices.
My Pledge
I will campaign to ensure that new local developments provide a greater proportion of genuinely affordable housing, and Cornwall Council expands its own provision of affordable houses to rent or buy​

The pandemic has highlighted 10+ years of underfunding in our public services. It has thrown light on the working conditions in many of the roles that society relies on.
My Pledge
I will continue to fight to protect our NHS, mental health support & our care workers.  I will work to improve the terms & conditions of our key workers, improve access to education and support any initiative that supports life chances.  


There were high profile victories by Labour Councillors who led the way by declaring the Climate Emergency and committing to 2030 carbon neutrality but there is much more to do. 
My Pledge
I will work with oher councillors on policies to green Cornwall; improving the energy efficiency of social & council housing, making recycling work for residents, & powering Cornwall with clean green energy.
