A Bit About Me...

As the Director of a prominent Pembrokeshire company, I'm deeply committed to the well-being, safety, and advocacy of our community. My dedication to positive change extends to my role as a Committee Member with Crimestoppers Wales.

I'm a tenacious advocate, relentlessly tackling community issues with relevant agencies and local authorities – so much so that I've even inspired a local "fan group" determined to "shut me down!" Currently, I'm actively supporting parents seek crucial anti-bullying and safeguarding assistance for their children across Welsh schools, and I'm expanding this advocacy to support students with concerns about their schools, colleges, and universities throughout Wales.

My extensive background in health and social care, including frontline work in A&E during the pandemic, provides me with an unparalleled understanding of the NHS's internal challenges and staffing issues. I've specialised in critical areas like homelessness, temporary accommodation, and domestic abuse, and have worked with diverse populations, from young adults with learning difficulties and mental health challenges to the elderly.

My expertise also encompasses charity strategic planning, employee development, project management, and business planning, all honed through my leadership roles. As an individual who thrives on connection, I embrace my autism as a source of strength, fuelling my determination and passion. While direct communication isn't always my strongest suit, my resolve to fight for what's right is unwavering.

My own experiences with bullying in school & to date have instilled in me a profound dedication to supporting children and parents facing similar struggles. Despite being seen as an 'outcast' by some for demanding positive change, I never back down when standing for what I believe is just. My career paths have equipped me with invaluable skills in active listening, empathy, and understanding people's needs.

I am a proud Welsh speaker, deeply connected to my heritage, and wholly dedicated to serving my community, constituents, and country. Having many friends who are born-and-bred farmers, I keenly understand the detrimental impact of the current Labour Government on our agricultural community. It's clear: we need complete political reform in Wales, and especially here in Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion.
