I moved to Kingston in 2008 to study at Kingston University.

Full statement

I loved the areas’ strong sense of community and music scene and chose to settle here. I now enjoy the green spaces and riverside with my daughter. I have worked in the voluntary sector for nearly 10 years. I have been a very active campaigner of equal rights for marginalised groups and more recently on the disproportionate impact Covid has had on women. If elected I will champion access and inclusion. Disabled people should not be excluded from accessing parts of our community, which happens far too often. I will fight for investment in good public services for everyone – they are vital to help people thrive and underpin a society that is caring and supportive. It is so sad to see our high streets struggling. I want to help breathe life back into them through innovative ways.
