I am an Event Director and Global Educator with 18 Hours, based in Bexhill. I am also a Senior Lecturer in International Event Management with the University of Brighton. I have more than 20 years’ experience in delivering events and festivals across Sussex.

18 Hours is driven by a passion for fostering global understanding through events, education and research. I have directed Bexhill After Dark and Sidley Festival. My most recent research includes a focus on the positive benefits of community festivals. I support the Rother Race Action Forum which is now hosted by 18 Hours.

I am looking forward to using my skills and experience to contribute to promoting long standing, positive change for Bexhill, through my membership of the Town Board.
