I am a single working parent of two primary school aged children! They attend school close to home which helps. I also work part time as a Speech Language Therapist in a specialist school. I have a passion for children and young people, particularly those who are very vulnerable. I think my knowledge has carried into my work as a Community Board Member and an example of this is that I have enjoyed seeing more accessible play equipment in our local playgrounds. My knowledge of local government has also impacted on my work as a Speech Therapist, and I encourage the team I am part of to submit whenever it is relevant.
