I have lived in the Borough since 2014. I currently work for an insurance company in Human Resources and I am Chair of Governors at Hollyfield Secondary School in Surbiton. I have two children who both go to school in the Borough. I am passionate about supporting young people, and if elected I will work to reopen the youth clubs that the Lib Dems have closed, as well as working hard for all the residents of Old Malden.
