I was born in Aberystwyth, grew up in North Wales, and spent most of my childhood and young adult life in Llangollen, Denbighshire.
As a teenager, I became involved in youth politics as part of my local Town Council, County Youth Council and the Welsh Youth Parliament, through which I had the opportunity to speak in the live televised Parliamentary Youth Debate in 2014 where I spoke in English and Welsh at the dispatch box, about a Welsh hero, Hedd Wyn, from Trawsfynydd, which further ignited my interest in pursuing a political career in the future. I also spent time completing work experience and an internship with local politicians which meant I gained exposure to Westminster and local politics while still at school.
After graduating from the University of Exeter in History and German BA in 2019, I took on the role of Parliamentary Researcher for the MP, Susan Elan Jones (Labour MP 2010-2019), whose constituency covered my hometown, Llangollen. Currently I work as a Talent Manager in London, responsible for recruitment across EMEA for an Expert Network company called Atheneum.
I am very passionate about ensuring the Welsh voice is amplified as an important perspective in the political debate which often does not get the attention it deserves. I am looking forward to campaigning in Dwyfor Meirionnydd with the importance of the Welsh language at the core of my mission.
