I was born, raised and still live in North Birmingham. I studied Business and Finance at Birmingham City University and currently work as a Data Analyst.
I have 14 years’ experience as a councillor in Perry Barr, Birmingham from 2004 to 2018. As well as being a ward councillor I also served as scrutiny chair for Transportation and Street Services (2009-2010) and the Children and Young People committee (2011-2012).
I am passionate about education and ensuring that every student has access to a good education. Every school should be a good school. I have been a school governor at both primary and secondary level.
I am also passionate about environmental and community issues. I am proud to call Birmingham my home, but I have seen the decline in the area over successive governments. We need to see real change in our community and investment into services. I am appalled by the cuts to youth services.
I am standing for the Green Party as they have the right policies to tackle the major issues in our society such as climate change, homelessness and the cost of living crisis.

Birmingham Green Party General Election 2024 crowdfunder
Please help us make sure Karen is on the ballot paper by contributing to our General Election 2024 crowdfunder. We do not get donations from big business or trade unions and each candidate has to pay a deposit of £500: so in order to make sure every single voter in Birmingham has the opportunity to vote for a Green Party candidate, we need to raise £5,000.
