I am originally from Herefordshire but settled in Gloucestershire 4 years ago. I was really struck by the sense of community within Stroud, a place where you can be whoever you want to be and where there are so many kind and supportive people.

I am passionate about the arts in particular acting, theatre and writing. I am also extremely passionate about women's rights and mental health education.

I have a degree from the University of Birmingham in Drama and English Language. I currently work in operations for a training company - helping companies to become learning organisations by educating and training staff.
