My current role
It was an honour to be elected to a three-year term as a Patient Governor in July 2025.
I am currently semi-retired and work at a local secondary school. This role provides me with a unique perspective on how young people view the NHS, which I hope to bring to the work of Cambridge University Hospitals (CUH).
With enthusiasm, integrity and absolute dedication, I am committed to making a meaningful contribution in the Patient Governor role. I am particularly passionate about promoting equal access to care and ensuring that patient welfare remains at the centre of all decisions.
Previous history
I have many years of experience in financial services, with a focus on compliance. This gives me strong skills in helping CUH manage resources carefully and make fair, transparent decisions.
As a former breast cancer patient, my personal experience with CUH has given me a deep appreciation for the dedication and expertise of its staff.
Personal interests
In my spare time, I volunteer at The Ladybird Trust. The charity provides days out on the river for community groups including the elderly, disabled and children.
