From Buckinghamshire to the Caribbean and back, I've had a life-long passion for all children and the importance of giving them the right tools to develop and flourish in today's modern, diverse world.

I'm an educator, having started my career as a teacher and headteacher some 4,500 miles away in St Vincent and The Grenadines. Since returning to Buckinghamshire 16 years ago, I embarked on a local government career and since joining Buckinghamshire CC I have carried out a variety of equalities-related advisory roles.
