I currently serve as Mayor of Għargħur, a role that reflects my deep sense of responsibility towards the residents of the locality and my firm commitment to transparent and inclusive leadership. I strongly believe that people-centred leadership begins with listening. For this reason, direct engagement with the community is central to my work, as it enables me to understand people’s needs and translate their ideas into concrete initiatives that enhance quality of life.

My work is driven by the values of inclusion, solidarity, and good governance, particularly through community-based initiatives. Beyond my professional responsibilities, I have a strong passion for history and culture which, together with the ideas and aspirations of people, further reinforces my commitment to public service.
