I currently work in local government and have done since 2014. My job has given me an insight into a number of areas and I do my job well. However, the biggest thing for me is that I've been able to help people.
Outside of work I keep myself incredibly busy....
Multiple officer roles in my local Labour Party
Coordinator for my local Neighborhood Watch
Contributor for Yorkshire Bylines
Parish Councillor
Actively learning Spanish, Portuguese and BSL
My most important job though is taking care of my amazing wife. She's had arthritis since the age of six and developed numerous other medical conditions since then. Her experiences have shown me just how poorly vulnerable and disabled people are treated. They deserve way more.
Aspirations
I might do a lot already, but there are things I'd really love to do.
I'd certainly like to expand my language learning (currently thinking about Turkish, Polish, Catalan and Hindi).
In terms of work I guess there are two things I'd really like to do - either be an MP or be a journalist. With either I could raise awareness, indulge my passion for research and also help to drive real change.
I'd also love to see a world where everyone is respected and treated equally. A world where people get the help that they need.
