Born and raised in Carmarthenshire, I have been working here as an architect since I set up my own architect's practice in 2009. My political interests are varied, but my main focus has been on Health & Social Care and Housing & Development. I also have a keen interest in Business and Local Economic Development. In 2001 I left Llanelli and lived and worked throughout the UK whilst studying Architecture. I gained my first two degrees at the University of Portsmouth where I campaigned to become president of the student's union and enjoyed playing for the university rugby team. In 2009 I gained my qualifying degree at Birmingham City University before returning home to Carmarthenshire. In 2016, I was elected as a Llanelli Town Councillor.
