I've spent most of my adult life working in media technology during which time I have developed a passion for creative tech. I'm also keen on using creativity and technology in education and frequently seek out new resources to engage and inspire my two children. I believe we are both teachers and students for life.

I am a member of the Labour party and joined in 2015 when I was deeply inspired by Jeremy and his vision for a new and socially conscious Britain. Prior to this I had never joined a political party and only started voting when I was in my 30s. I believe the Labour party under Jeremy has completely transformed and I look forward to seeing it evolve during his leadership of the party.
