She takes over the role from outgoing mayor Malcolm Ward.
The new mayor, who represents Wollaston, said: “It is an honour to be elected as the new mayor of Wellingborough. Cllr Malcom Ward has carried out an excellent service and I look forward to following in his footsteps and supporting local projects and meeting local residents and organisations.
“I am keen to champion local causes and I am excited to get out and about on the borough and visit a number of these fantastic causes first hand.”
