Standing for creativity, community & change
Founder of Sounds and Stage • Champion of the arts • Political candidate in the making.
Let’s rebuild trust, revive our communities, and put culture back at the heart of public life.
A different kind of leadership
For too long, our country has felt broken — from struggling communities to underfunded public services and a cultural sector left behind. I believe it’s time for a new kind of leadership: one rooted in creativity, resilience, and a genuine desire to listen.
I’ve spent years telling stories and giving a voice to artists through Sounds and Stage, a platform that celebrates theatre and the performing arts. Now, I want to bring that same passion, vision, and determination into politics.
Sounds and Stage is a theatre and entertainment platform celebrating stories, reviews and interviews across the arts — amplifying voices from our creative community.
What I stand for
Restoring a landmark for everyone
Theatre Royal Margate is not just a building; it’s a living symbol of community, creativity, and history. I am committed to leading efforts to reopen and revive this iconic venue, turning it once again into a hub for performance, education, and cultural pride.
