Arlene Maltman
Candidate for Deputy St. Mary, St. Ouen and St. Peter
I am a proud Islander. People who know me, know that I am passionate about where we live.
I grew up in St Ouen’s, where my love for surfing began. As European Champion I travelled and competed extensively before studying for my degree in Communication Studies in California. I started my career in marketing in New York and then worked in Boston.
But I always wanted to come home to my roots, my community and the natural environment I care so much about.
If elected I will bring this passion to the States Chamber along with my professional experience in the local private and public sectors. I will bring common sense and a determination to get on with making decisions that enhance Island life.
