Politics was not simply discussed in my North London Jewish-Irish family - it was lived. From demonstrations and campaigning to lifelong Labour Party membership, public service shaped my upbringing.
In 2016, I decided to turn those values into action by becoming active in local politics. I was elected as a councillor in 2021 - an immense privilege that gave me the opportunity to represent and champion Hackney's residents.
As Speaker and Civic Mayor of Hackney, I conducted citizenship ceremonies, chaired Full Council and used my platform to raise awareness of special educational needs and disabilities, FASD, and women's representation in politics.
Later, as Cabinet Member for SEND and Early Years, I kept families at the heart of my work - consistently raising their concerns and fighting for the services and support they deserve.
My campaigning now extends nationally. As Vice-Chair of the Fabian Women's Network and Democracy Lead at Compassion in Politics, I campaign to increase women's representation, clean up politics and strengthen democracy for everyone.
Politics has been part of my life from the beginning. It remains both a joy and a privilege to turn those values into meaningful change.
