I was born and educated in Barnsley, Yorkshire. I studied Biochemistry at Liverpool University and went on to train to teach science and maths, a job I did at secondary level for 32 years. I am married and have a daughter. I have lived in Bramhall 21 years.
I am passionate about the environment, animal welfare, education and the NHS and have been a member of Friends of the Earth,Greenpeace and other related organisations for many years. I have been a volunteer for Oxfam and currently volunteer for the Mersey Rivers Trust and am a member of the eco group Sustainable Bramhall. My other interests include music, history and theatre. I dance in a local morris dancing side.
I believe that all of the issues we face today, the economy, society and the environment are all linked and need to be solved together. The Green Party has the ideas and plans to tackle climate change and other issues to bring about a Green Recovery.
