Born and bred in Bishop's Waltham for the last 38 years. I live with my wife and two daughters, who attend local schools, and still have all of my close family living in the village too. I enjoy most sports and can often be found sporting Lycra on a weekend. My career has seen me spend most of my time working in or around Hampshire Highways as a Quantity Surveyor. I grew up being involved with a lot of the local groups, so know that there is a real sense of community within Bishop's Waltham. With everything going on in the world, I now want to try and give something back to ensure that this continues to be a wonderful place to live and enjoy for everyone.

I moved to Bishop’s Waltham in 2012 with my husband and two very young children. My husband grew up in Swanmore and our move to Bishop’s Waltham was a return to his roots in order to bring up our family in such a lovely area.

I can honestly say I am so lucky to have found such great neighbours and a friendly community. I joined the Parish Council in hope that I can be one of the many voices that help shape the Bishop’s Waltham of the future.

I work within the financial advice industry and hope that I can use this knowledge for the benefit of the community.

I grew up in Hedge End and I still have lots of family in the surrounding area, but I left to attend university and then spent my career in finance living variously in London, New York and Hong Kong, before moving with my young family to Bishops Waltham in 2020. I have two daughters who attend the local schools and the whole family are active in various local clubs and activities. We love to explore the surrounding countryside (and pubs), for which our area is particularly blessed. I hope to bring to the council my time, energy and life experience to contribute in making and preserving Bishops Waltham as a great place to live for all its residents.

I have lived in Bishop’s Waltham my entire life, just over 31 years. In my early years I went to school in Swanmore and played as a goalkeeper for Bishop’s Waltham Dynamo’s. After leaving college, I began working in A&E at our local hospital, the Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester, so may have at some point patched you up! I ended up working in the hospital for a total of nine years during which I also volunteered with the Bishop’s Waltham Community Responders for 5 years. Due to the increasing pressures on NHS staff, I changed career by studying at Southampton Solent University in Software Development and after graduating, I now work at HMS Collingwood creating digital training media for the Royal Navy. Bishop’s Waltham is my hometown and I, as a Parish Councillor, hope to give back to the community in some way.

My family have been residents of Bishops Waltham for over 30 years, so almost a local. My children attended the local schools and joined in with many of the clubs in Bishop's Waltham. My husband runs his company locally in Shedfield so we are very invested in where we live. I am an avid walker, with 3 dogs who keep me busy. I also volunteer for the Gateway club and in the past have been a Guider, helped out at primary school with reading, and joined in with various community groups. I look forward to helping our community within the Parish Council.

Originally from a small Parish in Cornwall, I have since made Hampshire my home. I have worked and travelled around the world, making a career for myself as a freelance engineer on many entertainment events, including TV shows, Music events and festivals, including the 2012 Olympics.

Having two children, and a passion for our community drives my interests in sustainability and the environment, alongside youth and family opportunities and sports facilities for all ages.

I am currently involved locally with the Bishop's Waltham Festival and hope to ensure that Bishop's Waltham continues to build on its legacy of successful events locally.
