As a Mum of two, I want the best outcome for our young people. I strongly believe in developing young people for the future, and also education to be available at all stages of life.
I have been visiting local schools across Bedford and Kempston to understand what is important to our youth and teaching professionals.
Education is one of my top priorities for Bedford and Kempston ensuring that we have a generation fit for the future reaching their full potential.
In my teenage years my family and I experienced homelessness due to the economic downturn. It was my education that gave me the opportunity to pursue my dreams and giving me the chance to stand for parliament today. It is for these reasons I know the importance of helping every child reach their potential.
This is why I'll work with residents, school staff and the Government to ensure our schools are fully funded with the best facilities.
