I’m a Gateshead-based entrepreneur, qualified teacher, and community leader committed to helping local people build more secure, fulfilling lives.
I’ve spent most of my working life self-employed — starting and growing businesses — and I’m passionate about helping others do the same. Whether it’s supporting someone into work, building confidence, or helping launch a new idea, I believe everyone in Gateshead deserves the chance to succeed.
Through my work leading Gateshead Community Organisation, I support residents across our borough — helping people into employment, backing new community ventures, and championing inclusion, especially for those who often feel overlooked.
As a candidate for the Liberal Democrats, I’m focused on what matters locally: stronger community connections, better opportunities, and real support for people and families across Gateshead. Politics should work for you — and I’m here to make sure it does.
