I was born in Freedom Fields, Plymouth in 1982. At turning 16 I got my first job in my local Plymco and Normans – now known as a Co-op supermarket. I have now worked for the Co-op for a total of 23 years, with 13 years as a store manager in multiple stores located around the city of Plymouth. My position as store manager has allowed me to interact and support multiple charities across the city. In 2018, I was offered the opportunity to complete a Degree Apprenticeship with the Co-op. In October 2021 I gained an honours degree in Management and Leadership as well as obtaining my chartered management status. In 2021, I started a secondment in another area of the business and have spent the last 12 months working within Supply Chain, as a Portfolio Analyst. A summary of this role was to make informed decisions by the analysis and interpretation of data. It was my job to support the majority of Co-ops located in tourist locations across Cornwall and Devon.
In my personal life, I have been married for over 12 years and I have two children. My hobbies include spending quality time with my family, exploring outdoor areas, visiting national trust areas and a keen interest in technology. I hope all my past experiences and skillset will add value to my position of governor.
