Why I'm standing

I am motivated to maintain the Waipā as one of the best places to live and work in New Zealand. I see a need for motivated, strategic-thinking, financially literate people to stand to ensure the best outcomes are reached. I believe I have these attributes.

About me

I have grown up in the Waipā, and I know the district very well. I know many people in the area offering the ability for me to connect well with its residents. I have a genuine desire to see the best for the Waipā and am willing to give my time to achieve this.

My priorities
  1. Robust discussion supporting intensification in urban areas rather than urban sprawl into farmland.
  2. Consider cost effective alternatives to improve peak traffic in Cambridge.
  3. Promote youth-based activities and initiatives in council planning.
