I have lived in the Micklegate Ward most of my adult life and was elected in 2007 as a councillor for Micklegate ward.
I am married with two children and I feel that I understand the changes, the issues and most importantly, the people of Micklegate Ward.
I value the importance of working within the local community. I have a track record of working with local resident associations, youth clubs, all of Micklegate local schools and the local sports clubs. Equally I have worked extremely hard in trying to reach other groups of people espectially the elderly residents of Micklegate.
The local economy and environment are crucial and they have also been high priorities of work for me as a local councillor of Micklegate.
Because of my passion and belief in the voluntary sector, I have undertaken voluntary work at the local Women's Prison and worked with various groups who work with the elderly, disabled people and also groups who focus on young people.
Currently I am a trustee of Playspace, the Management Committee of the Welfare Benefit Service and a Trustee of York City Charities. I am also involved with a new local environmental group based in Micklegate.
As a local Councillor I have always tried to keep an open mind and to be receptive to the views of others and I always try my best to represent all residents.
