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.

Orbit Homes, part of the not-for-profit housing group Orbit, invited me for a visit to see their new shared ownership and social rent homes at Dawson's Green. In partnership with Chartway, they are delivering 77 new affordable homes with 35 up for social rent.
I'm so pleased to see Orbit Homes play its part in delivering on the Government's mission to build 1.5 million homes by 2030, helping more people become first time homeowners.

Lovely to see local primary schools participate in a cricket tournament! And what a great day to have it ☀️
Thank you to Folkestone School Games Organisers for arranging this, they do brilliant work to keep kids active, bringing together schools and clubs for sports provision. It’s so important to allow children these opportunities and even bringing on volunteers from Brock Hill school to umpire! Fantastic work.
