Auckland Council

Albany Ward
The Auckland Council makes strategic decisions for Auckland on public transport, urban planning, environmental protection and other big issues. The council provides funding to local boards to provide public services in their areas, and manages council-controlled organisations which provide infrastructure, such as public transport, water and sewerage. The councillors and mayor make up the governing body, which shares governance of Auckland Council with the 21 local boards. The governing body is made up of 20 councillors plus the mayor. Councillors are elected to represent wards (areas in Auckland). Two councillors will be elected from your ward. This is a first past the post (FPP) election, so you vote by ticking the name of your preferred candidate on your ballot paper. Compare the candidates and their policies to decide who to vote for in the Auckland Council election.

Why I'm standing

I was born and raised in Albany ward which is a beautiful part of Auckland with varied coastal environments. We can no longer afford to keep missing out. Ratepayers deserve to see a meaningful return on investment and accountability in decision making. Projects like transport improvements, community recycling centers, and dedicated library spaces need representatives who can build relationships around the council table to win more for our beloved communities.

About me

I am a qualified teacher with more than seven years experience, teaching locally and leading a highly successful team of foreign teachers in international schools with a focus on innovation and improving student success. I have dedicated time to community projects including planning and painting murals with a team of professional artists. I have advocated for changes to improve the wellbeing of students, and I am a member of the Harbour Hospice Advisory Board.

My priorities
  1. Improve usage and reliability of public transport, to reduce emissions and benefit economy.
  2. Advocate for well designed town planning that allows for appropriate community growth in key areas.
  3. Prepare for and mitigate the negative impacts of a changing climate.
