I have been a member for three years, with a lifelong connection to Lions through my husband who has been a charter member. I am committed to supporting communities in need and seeking meaningful ways to make a difference and support local impactful work.

As a qualified teacher specialising in specific learning difficulties, I love to volunteer and includes fundraising challenges, such as a 26-mile overnight walk for cancer research, and contributing to community health initiatives.
