“Seeing others like yourself aspiring and achieving things in life you might have otherwise deemed impossible, is how you create change.

I would love to be the change that inspires the next generation of people like me, to show them that they are not a problem, and are valued and important members of our community.

Having lived down the road in Innsworth, I moved to Cheltenham in 2019 to study at the University and have called the St Paul’s area my home ever since. I think it’s about time that we have real representation in local government that reflects our diverse population, whether that be the students who have recently moved here or the locals who have lived here their entire lives. I can champion your voice.
