I’m someone who believes in hard work, fairness, and making systems work better for people. I grew up in an ordinary home, which shaped my belief in personal responsibility and opportunity.

I’ve spent my life serving my community — from volunteering in the justice system, to serving in local government, to helping people through the Citizens Advice Bureau. I’m also a business owner, so I understand the realities facing working people and small enterprises every day.

I care about practical solutions, not headlines, and I’m happiest when I’m rolling up my sleeves and getting things done.
