Sara is standing for election in 2026 because of her deep commitment to the communities across Pontypridd, Cynon and Merthyr.

Originally from Penrhiwceiber and now living in the Cynon Valley with her family, Sara is proud of her Valleys roots and determined to help the area reach its full potential. She wants her children, and every child growing up here, to feel pride in their community, in Wales, and to grow up with real opportunities.

A graduate of Trinity College Carmarthen, where she studied her teaching degree, Sara has worked in schools, prisons, and for the past decade in the NHS. Her career spans education, healthcare, youth support, and criminal justice. At the heart of her work is a focus on supporting people and improving systems to make them fairer, more accessible, and more compassionate.

Living with type 1 diabetes from childhood and having temporarily lost her sight at 26, Sara understands how easily people can fall through the cracks. She is committed to leadership that listens and joining systems up, so no one is left behind.

Inspired by the Equal Power Equal Voice programme, Sara joined Plaid Cymru to help amplify local voices in politics, especially those of women and marginalised communities across Pontypridd, Cynon and Merthyr.
