‘I would have to break this down into the personal, professional and political.
Professional and personal achievements for me are always around education – I come from a Council housing estate where it was not the popular or done thing to go to third-level education. I received a really brilliant education and it is something that I value hugely and have allowed me to be the professional that I am. My biggest political achievement was winning my seat in the last election against all of the odds – I was odds on to lose my seat and my team and I worked through huge adversity including losing my sister to suicide during the campaign.’
