A Fresh Approach

Why I'm standing

We live in a wonderful community and I want to positively contribute to making it even better. We say in Sunnynook that we live in the sunniest little nook in the world, and I want to champion our community and advocate for the needs of our rapidly changing and growing area.

About me

I have a long and successful career in community development and quality governance.

My priorities

  1. Listen to the voices of the disenfranchised.
  2. Develop positive relationships with communities so they feel represented by their local board.
  3. Get women's changing rooms in Devonport Cricket Club.
