I have lived in Heath Hayes since 1989.

I am currently in my third term of office as a Parent Governor at Fiveways, both of my children attended the school with the youngest child moving up to Secondary school in September 08.

I work as a Senior Fostering Social Worker with Dudley M.B.C Children’s Services and I am a Qualified Trainer of Social Work Students and Foster Carers.  I have nearly thirty years experience of working with children and their families in a variety of settings.

In my spare time I follow sport, including Football, Hockey, Rugby and Bowls; for my sins I also follow Wolverhampton Wanderers. I also enjoy live theatre, listening to music and reading.

With my background and experience I have a vested interest in the Education and Welfare of your children and therefore I constantly strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for them.
