I first moved to Hose in 1992 when I was 3 years old and my parents ran the Black Horse pub. I completed my primary schooling at Hose before moving on to Belvoir High School and later King Edward VII upper school.

I have lived in and around Hose and the Vale for most of my life, with my family returning to the village in 2011 to run the Rose and Crown pub, and my husband and I moving back to Hose with our own family in 2018.

My son now attends the school and our twin girls are due to start in 2024.

I have over 10 years of experience in marketing  and have spent 8 of those working for a large, local charity.
