States Trustee of the Jersey Community Relations Trust

During the past 4 years, I have been proud to serve the constituents of St Helier South and support workers across our community. I have supported people with employment issues, including unfair dismissal and discrimination cases, housing problems, situations in Health and Social Security, and many of the day to day issues faced by my constituents.

I believe public life should be guided by integrity and empathy. Every decision I have made during this term has based on these principles. As a Reform Jersey candidate, I stand for a culture of respect, where different experiences are valued and individual voices are heard. I am committed to bringing your voice to the Assembly.

We must safeguard human, social and environmental resources for future generations to thrive. We must support green transport initiatives, not only to reduce our carbon emissions and have cleaner air in St Helier but to encourage healthier lifestyles by walking or cycling to town. St Helier South receives a lot of traffic, reducing this will benefit us in so many ways.

I recognise the importance of the finance industry to Jersey’s economy; however, another integral part of the Jersey economy are the small businesses that provide services to locals and visitors. We must create an environment where small business and hospitality can thrive. I understand and have experience of this as a small business owner.

While supporting businesses, we cannot forget the people that work for them. In the next term, if elected, I want to focus on ensuring that we review our current employment laws, ensuring that they are still fit for purpose and provide the right protections to employees.

As a mother of three, I am fortunate that all my children still live and work in Jersey and we can share our family moments. Many parents, however, are seeing their children leave Jersey because they don’t see a future here. We need to turn the tide on this and give young people a future in Jersey.
