I have lived in and around this area for many years, I grew up in Fowlmere and was a pupil at Melbourn Village College. I moved to Melbourn eight years ago.

I have been working in the insurance industry for 20 years and head up a team in London that looks after product development and strategic projects for the company. The role involves project management skills and getting groups of people from around the business to help drive change. I am also driving our programme of innovation. I am an Associate of the Chartered Insurance Institute.

I am really excited about being part of the Melbourn Village Plan – to actually have active involvement in the plan and a positive impact on the area I live in was too good an opportunity to miss. I hope I will be able to bring all my skills to the role to help make the plan a success.
