I have been active in the local community for 14 years before being elected in 2022. I am passionate about helping people with their issues and getting problems resolved.

I was first elected 30 years ago as a member for Whickham North. When the ward boundaries changed my house was included in the new ward, and I have represented it ever since.

I have lived in the area all my life and held many community appointments, including Chair of the Newcastle Upon Tyne and North Northumberland Branch of the RSPCA for many years. I have been involved in a number of other charities across the region. I was the parliamentary candidate for Blaydon on two occasions (and nearly took the seat on one of them), and also stood in Gateshead, Jarrow and Newcastle North.

Professionally I am a Solicitor, and have practised in Gateshead since 1978.

My beliefs and political views are centred on striving for equality and fairness in every part of society.

In my professional life I am the Head of Customer Success for an online events platform.
