I joined the Lord Chancellor’s Department in July 1989 and the union shortly after. I have been an active member since. I am proud to be a member of PCS and a member of the Democracy Alliance within the union which puts equality and the needs of our members at the heart of decision making. I feel privileged to have been on the NEC the previous four years and am asking for your vote to be elected again.

I believe that a strong union is essential to win improvements to members’ terms and conditions, and I fully support industrial action where this is necessary to further our aims. I was proud to be on the picket lines in 2023 with comrades fighting for a real cost of living pay rise and I would support industrial action, if necessary, to get a cost of living pay rise this year.

I have a good attendance record at the NEC, and I have previously represented the union at TUC, Women’s TUC and the AGM of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. I support members in their fight for job security, a good worklife balance, and their right to reasonable hybrid working to achieve this.

I am an experienced member of MoJ Group Executive Committee where I am the Group personal cases coordinator and a member of the PCS MoJ pay team. I work hard for members and have won appeals against warning and dismissals. I have assisted members in taking cases to Tribunal.

If elected I will continue working to ensure this union delivers real benefits for members.

To win in the current financial and political climate we need experienced representatives with proven track records. We need an effective national campaign that unites members and that members have faith will deliver financial and other benefits. We need greater youth engagement, we need older people like me and we need our members to vote in elections.

Your vote is important. Please use it. Vote Democracy Alliance.
