Why I'm standing

I am so fortunate to live in the beautiful Te Miro and worry about urban sprawl ruining our amazing countryside.

About me

What has prepared me for a position on the Cambridge Community Board? I currently work with Cambridge Community House as Violence Free Waipā, am the current board chair of the Cambridge Charities CCOSS. These roles allow me to have my thumb on the pulse of the community I hope to represent.

My priorities
  1. Listen to many of the challenges currently faced by the rural sector so I can support you.
  2. Implement slower speed zones around rural schools
  3. Lessen the financial burden carried by our farmers. Example paying for sewerage we don't use.
