I have lived in Chorlton with my family since 2007, with both of my children currently attending Chorlton C of E Primary School. I joined the CLT to help us all shape the future of our community and to make sure that we cater for everyone when new developments are under consideration in the area. I currently act as treasurer for the CLT.

Over the last year, I have taken up a number of other voluntary roles, including WalkRide Greater Manchester (where I act as company secretary), the board of governors for Chorlton CofE and Greater Manchester Mutual Bank (where I am helping with business planning and fundraising).

I am a qualified pensions actuary and have worked for a number of large professional service firms in Manchester over the last 20 years. More recently, I have taken up a role as a professional pension scheme trustee, working with a range of different pension schemes across the North West and the Midlands.
