South Hams District Councillor for Totnes
Having been a member of the Green Party for about 20 years – 10 of those holding various roles in the local party executive – Anna is now keen to be involved on the ‘frontline’ of local politics and serve the community.
Anna worked as an Osteopath for 16 years and served as a member of the Territorial Army. She went on deployment serving in several post-conflict zones within the Civil Affairs unit where she acted as the interface between community leaders and aid agencies on the ground.
She continued to work in a civilian capacity within International Development and went on to manage a refugee camp, plus other roles in different countries post-conflict and post-natural disaster.
“I appreciate so much more how local support can considerably influence the bigger picture within a country. To work from the ground up is the most important foundation to a true democracy creating longevity of a community in all aspects.
I’m honoured to be elected to represent our district – I will endeavour to support the local voice of South Hams. A place where people feel heard, and their concerns matter – a wonderful area where people want to be, to study and live with their families, encouraging our youth to remain, knowing they will have the best opportunities.”
