Raised, living in and fighting for
Romsey & Southampton North
Your
HAMPSHIRE MUM
Romsey and Southampton North isn’t just a place I’m campaigning in, it’s home.
I grew up here, got married here last summer, and now live in Houghton, near Stockbridge, with my husband and our newborn son.
Earlier this year, I went through a difficult birth, and I saw first-hand how overstretched our NHS has become - whether it’s maternity care, GP access, mental health, or social care, the system is struggling.
That was the catalyst to make me stand for selection: to fight for improved local services and healthcare so that every family gets the help they deserve.
I am an international solicitor, having trained and qualified at one of the world’s top law firms, Allen & Overy LLP, advising on complex financial deals across London and Madrid.
That experience taught me how to work under pressure, navigate the business world, and advocate effectively.
Living and working in Madrid, having also studied foreign languages for my degree, taught me about the importance of having a close relationship with Europe and giving people from the UK back the opportunity to go live and work abroad.

International LAWYER
YOUR
COMMUNITY MAKER
I founded DemocraFest, a non-profit initiative bringing together music, debate, and grassroots activism to boost political engagement among young people.
This experience has shown me how to reach disengaged and first-time voters by making politics relevant, exciting, and accessible.
It shows the energy and ability to campaign that I will bring to Romsey and Southampton North.

YOUR
CAMPAIGNER
I was central to Winchester’s Lib Dem victory, helping to build a team of 1,000 volunteers, organise campaigning, and recruit Danny’s permanent team.
I also led the fundraising that gave us the resources to deliver one of the most effective campaigns in the country and defeat the Conservatives.
YOUR
WESTMINSTER WOMAN
I set up the Winchester MP’s, Danny Chambers, office after the general election, and have built a strong network across Westminster.
I helped Danny Chambers successfully steer a Private Members’ Bill through Parliament to tackle puppy smuggling - experience that shows I know how to enact change in Parliament.
YOUR
FUNDRAISER
I bring strong Liberal Democrat connections across Hampshire and Westminster, and I know how to turn those connections into the resources we need to win.
From day one, I’ll establish a Business Forum for Hampshire, giving local industry leaders a voice and building vital donor networks.
I’m already helping set up a regional research non-profit focused on One Health — a platform designed to attract funding from those sympathetic to our cause but not yet politically active.
I’ve also organised successful fundraising events for Liberal Democrat MPs, including launching a fundraising club headlined by Ed Davey MP.
