Born at Wanstead Hospital, I have lived in the same house in Snaresbrook all my life.
I worked at Bush Boake Allen as an analytical chemist in Hackney and Walthamstow and then as a science technician at Queens Park Community School until retirement. I am a lifetime member of the Woodland Trust, and I strongly support keeping as much of the Wanstead green belt as possible. I will work with the other councillors from Wanstead, which has been lacking since Labour ended the old Area Committee One.
