I have lived in the village for almost 30 years with my partner Malcolm.

I worked at Calke Abbey as Community and Engagement Manager for 18 years, before moving to Trent Rivers Trust where I now work part-time helping to improve rivers in the Trent catchment.

My passion is wildlife and the environment and in my spare time I look after our flock of Portland sheep, an allotment and enjoy walking around our local area.

Now that I work part-time and have become one of your Parish Councillors, I will be a voice for the village and represent your views and what this village means to us all.
