Why I'm standing

Our council needs to represent its demographic to be in touch with the issues they face. As a working mother of a young family I am fully immersed in the realities of the juggle to bring up a family, work, live and try to get ahead to provide the best for our children. I want Cromwell to do it right so our future is bright.

About me

I am easily accessible due to heavy involvement with many community school and sports groups, so I can make the council more personable to many residents. I am personable, communicative and a good "get-it-done" sort, and I have a passion for Cromwell to be the best in can be for all of us. I am here for the long haul not just one term.

My priorities
  1. Ensuring affordable housing options are developed and rolled out as a structured part of our growth.
  2. Development of world-class level sporting and recreational facilities to make Cromwell a destination.
  3. Creating an ongoing conversation and awareness about our natural disaster policies and procedures.
