I am standing for election to build a sustainable, friendly Billingshurst, solve problems and represent those that have been forgotten.

Our family made Billingshurst our home in 2013. My two sons attended the Weald where my wife is a maths tutor. I cared for my parents through dementia and leukemia in Billingshurst. We rely on local services, and have done our best to help others through initiatives such as the food bank.

As a councillor, I would draw on rich professional experience. I completed a PhD in cancer diagnosis at the Royal Marsden hospital. At the BBC I developed digital services for the disabled and helped build the BBC News website. Now at the journal Nature, I help promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
