I was born and brought up in Harrogate before moving to Knaresborough in 1964.  I qualified as a teacher both in Secondary and Further Education.  In my younger days, I was a guider with my own brownie pack. 

In 1976 I commenced working at the local hospital and in 1987 changed roles and moved to the Royal Baths Hospital as a Voluntary Services Co-ordinator, introducing volunteers to the hospital environment.  

For two years I was Chairman of the Special Care Baby Unit, Parent Support Group.   I have been a school governor, and serve on the Executive Committee of the Friends of Harrogate Hospital, raising funds to purchase items for the benefit of patients.

I am also working on the town council's Bright Friday WG, Office Services Cttee and the Emergency Response Group.

In 2009/10 I was very privileged to be elected Mayor of our wonderful town.
