After almost 20 years working as a barrister, I came into politics in July 2024 to serve the community I love.
Folkestone and Hythe is where my children grew up, where I served as a trustee of a local charity, and where the most beautiful coastline, sunrises and sunsets unite the community in a love for this wonderful area.
My mother worked as a care assistant her whole life, having come here from the Philippines in the 1970s. My father was an engineer from London. My parents’ values of hard work, respect and compassion drive everything I do.
Folkestone and Hythe was for so many years forgotten by Westminster. Not any longer.
As your first ever Labour MP, I will fight every day to improve your lives and be your voice in Parliament, so we can make this area the best it can be for everyone.

Disgraceful to hear about a sewage leak in Dymchurch in the middle of summer. I wrote to the Environment Agency today about the source of potential spikes in the area, sampling data and to ask the EA to conduct microbial source tracing on recent high samples as per their bathing water action plan.
You can read my letter to the Environment Agency regarding this issue below.

Wishing all students receiving their A-Level results tomorrow the best of luck.
If you are reading this and you didn't get the grades that you hoped for, the last thing you should do is let that define you. There's plenty of life to live and so more opportunities to achieve. The future is bright, especially for our young people in #Folkestone, #Hythe and #RomneyMarsh! ... See MoreSee Less

Very proud of the announcement today from Yvette Cooper on community mental health support.
100 new community mental health centres will be opening, offering walk-in support.
59 new mental health emergency departments providing specialist care.
The first community mental health centres will be open as soon as this autumn - some will be newly built, others will be in existing community and high street locations.
This is about bringing mental health care closer to communities and ensuring people get early diagnosis, treatment and support.
And it’s about building a caring society, where mental and physical health have parity of esteem.
Far too many people who need mental health care today find that the A&E department is the only place they can be seen - that must end.
