I have lived in Tadley for most of my life. I went to Burnham Copse Infant and Junior Schools and then to The Hurst.

When Joel was two I returned to work and worked for Bayer for 10 years.

I moved into the area in 1989 and I have lived in Tadley since 1996, joining Tadley Town Council in April 2006.  Previously, I worked as a Human Resources manager in Reading until August 2005 when I took voluntary redundancy. 

I am married and have two grown up daughters.  Due to my husband’s job we have lived in a number of places throughout the country so I have had a variety of jobs over the years, including Parish Clerk in a village in Derbyshire during the 1980s.  I am enjoying my job as Assistant Clerk with the Town Council very much and it is interesting to learn more about Tadley.  In my spare time I like gardening, reading, crosswords, travel, theatre and needlecrafts.
