All about Eve

Eve was born in Luton in 1979. After school she took a gap year to gain work experience. Then she went to University College Warrington (part of Manchester University) getting a degree in Performing Arts and Business Management.

At university she became involved in theatre in education. This led her to working with young people when she returned home to Bedfordshire.

Eve moved to Bedford in 2002 to work for the James Kingham Project. Eve worked on the youth project at JKP for two years. Then she moved to work for the County Council (and more recently Central Beds Council). Eve enjoys cycling, and cycles to work when she's in the office.

From 2004-7 she studied at De Montfort University in Bedford for a degree in social work.

Since moving to Bedford she has been involved in her local church. She leads in worship, and is training as a preacher. This regularly takes her to the villages of North Bedfordshire. She also helps with A:19 youth group, and the Parent and Toddler Group. This has helped her raise awareness of the things that she is passionate about, such as the fair trade movement, social justice and environmental issues.

In her spare time she enjoys reading. Historical dramas and biographies are a favourite. She also enjoys films, preferring good comedies, or science fiction.

Her life has changed dramatically after becoming a mother, and she is the proud Mum to two pre-school children. She loves spending time with her family at home and out and about.

The result is that Eve is now a very busy working mum who cares passionately about the planet that her children will live on and the town they will live in. She has a very personal interest in the education system in Bedford over the next couple of decades.
