(Everyone deserves to be loved and cared for!!)

What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?

I think the biggest issue within our constituency is bullying. Having been bullied myself I understand how difficult it is, and I really sympathise with those who are bullied on a daily basis. My biggest hope is to try and help young people find a way out.

What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?

I hope to speak to lots of young people within my constituency, acting on issues important to them. I want young people to know they have a voice, and they can speak to someone when they’re alone/in trouble, and who they can speak to. I want to make a difference, but if I make the difference to at least one young person’s life for the better, I’ve done this job right!

What is your future career ambition?

I want to be a nurse working with adolescents. My future career plans have to be within the public eye.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I don’t really admire anyone within the public etc, just my family and friends, for being there for me throughout, shaping the person I am today!

If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be?

Take into consideration what young people think/want! Don’t make assumptions about “what’s best”, speak to us!!

My motto on life - “Be persistent, finish what you start, and always have the courage to follow your heart!”
