In Emily's own words

I am proud to have been born, schooled and work in and around Headington, which I am proud to call my home. I work for the OXSRAD charity where I am a supervisor coordinating inclusive activities for disabled people. I cherish the opportunity to support vulnerable people and to create a more welcoming community in Oxford. I am also a Domestic Abuse Champion for the charity Reducing the Risk, working to raise awareness of domestic abuse and ensure that vulnerable women are supported and safeguarded. I am committed to public service and my lifelong connection to Headington means I understand the needs, strengths, and concerns of local residents, and I am committed to representing our community with compassion, dedication, and integrity.
