Proud Londoner

"I was born in North London, studied in the East, have family in the West, and live in the South London. Representing London comes naturally to me and being your London Assembly Member has been the greatest honour."

"From the start of my term, I have been campaigning for leaseholders trapped in the cladding crisis. Standing up for refugees and asylum seekers' right to work. And working with businesses to reach net zero. And this is just the start, there’s more to come. London needs cleaner air for all, a city that is safe for all and a capital that is accessible to all. We need a liberal city that works for all Londoners."

Passionate Campaigner

"I've campaigned all over London, supporting members and activists across the capital.

Before I was elected as a Councillor in Merton,  I campaigned with other parents and teachers for Fair Funding for All Schools, and I founded a mentoring charity for young people from diverse and challenging backgrounds.

I taught for 20 years in some of the most deprived schools in London and I’ve seen how young people feel disenfranchised by the political system.

This drives me to make politics fairer, and for our democracy to be more inclusive through electoral reform."
