Why I'm standing

I have extensive and relevant business experience and education at governance and director level to add value.

About me

I have worked my way from office junior up through organisations to senior management and director roles so I know how organisations work.

My priorities

Get to know key staff capabilities and understand their views on the major barriers/challenges.
Seek staff support to determine ways of cutting costs to allow for lower rates (20%+ unacceptable).
Learn about the skills and experience of the other councillors and become part of the team.
