I am a mental health nurse by profession and a former secretary of the Jersey branch of the Royal College of Nursing.
I have a background in clinical governance, with experience in both healthcare complaint handling and safety investigations.
I have three grown-up sons: one works in finance, and the other two are students in the UK. My first degree was in history and politics and, before qualifying as a nurse in 2012, I was a senior editor in the legal publishing industry, first with Sweet & Maxwell and later as a freelancer.I hold a master’s in human rights law (1st class with distinction) and have a lifelong commitment to social justice.
I am standing for the political party PEOPLE FIRST because I believe Jersey needs a real opposition—one that won’t go into coalition with a government that advocates backward steps, such as charges for attending the hospital’s Emergency Department.
People First is not part of the “cosy club” of Jersey politics. I stand for a strong and well-resourced, but nevertheless accountable, public sector.
I want to see our local media direct the same level of scrutiny toward the financial services industry and the tax loopholes enjoyed by the super-rich as it currently directs toward our healthcare system and other essential public services.
Jersey cannot allow itself to become a paradise for a tiny minority of very wealthy people at the expense of the rest of its population, who are left to struggle with an out-of-control cost of living crisis—the result of a laissez-faire approach to the regulation of utilities, food supply, and rents.
A tax system based almost entirely on taxing the incomes of middle earners is something the Island can no longer afford. PEOPLE FIRST advocate for a shift in fiscal policy toward taxing the super-rich.
PEOPLE FIRST stand for equality for all and want to see a States Assembly that represents the many, not the few. International crises in Ukraine, Iran and Palestine, and the senseless wars in the Middle East, will have a direct and adverse impact on the living standards of Islanders. Robust regulation is needed to reduce the risks we face and to protect our people and environment.
