My lifelong professional interest in the education and care of children and young people led me to become a Governor of Monksmoor Park CE Primary School. 

I came to Daventry in the 1970s after marrying a local man. Our two daughters attended local schools and our family now includes five grandchildren. 

I opened the first Day Nursery in Daventry after running a preschool for 7 years. I retired 12 years ago but still very active in our community as a town councillor for the past 18 years, a Trustee of Daventry Volunteer Centre and a director of NCALC, a Northamptonshire organisation which advises and looks after the interests of all parish and town councils in the county.
