Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate for Dagenham and Rainham

Age: 50

Address: Trothy Road, Bermondsey Personal bio: I live with my Jack Russell dog – Millie.

I do have a partner but we prefer to live in our own properties.

I work as a matron at Guys and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust.

I am also a nursing officer in the Army Reserves and have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

My hobbies and interests include working out in the gym, going to the theatre, politics and walking Millie.

Do you hold any directorships or other financial interests? No

What jobs/ interests will you continue with if elected? If I was elected I would hope to continue in the Army Reserves on a reduced commitment

What is your local connection to the area? I trained as a nurse at Oldchurch Hospital and lived in Romford/Rush Green for six years.

If I am elected, the first thing I will do is… to organise an “open” surgery in two key areas in each part of the constituency to meet “my” constituents.

And I would ask them what they think my priorities should be.
