Why I'm standing
I am standing for local board because I care a great deal about our island home and I want to help our community grow and prosper.
About me
I am a calm, honest and dependable person and my family has lived on the island for seven generations. For the past five years I have worked at the Aotea Learning Hub, supporting our local youth. I strongly believe in building towards making the future a better place.
My priorities
- Support finding pathways and apprenticeships for our young people on the island.
- Investigate options to build affordable housing on the island.
- Build a new public cemetery for the central island.
