I grew up in Norwich and my family then moved to Weston-super-Mare in 1965. I have lived in Portishead for 33 years, having moved here on my marriage in 1974; the last 12 years being in Redcliffe Bay.
Most of my career has been in the nursing profession but I also spent 8 years as a social worker in central Bristol, dealing with generic problems. I now work at Bristol University on a child health research study which I have been doing for 16 years.
Our daughter has been a Town Councillor and we have a family history with my father and uncle also councillors and mayors.
My interests are mainly animal rescue charities and fundraising in support of these. I was a member of Portishead Lions for 4 years. I also run a ladies social group, part of the Red Hat Society which is a world organisation for friendship and fun for ladies in their second half-century.
I am on two committees in the local Conservative Party. I have always been interested in politics and I am of the opinion it is no good grumbling about something unless you are prepared to try and change it.
