Why I'm standing
Ōwairaka needs a fresh voice on the Albert-Eden Local Board. Currently, the Local Board is deadlocked both ideologically and geographically; we need to focus on priorities where we share common ground. I'm passionate about positive and constructive discussion, environmental sustainability, and community safety, and I will offer a youthful yet mature perspective on decision-making processes.
About me
I recently completed a master's degree in management and continue to run my own tutoring business. My job requires social maturity, resilience, and good collaboration skills. I have the courage to ask tough questions and the humility to listen, learn and engage with others. I have a cultural awareness that lets me genuinely connect with people from different backgrounds; I speak Mandarin and Cantonese and am learning Te Reo Māori.
My priorities
- Support a community-led approach to environmental protection and restoration.
- Work with local business associations to support the vitality and vibrancy of town centres.
- Explore ways to simplify feedback processes to address our community's age and cultural diversity.
