Why I'm standing

Kia ora, I'm running for election because I believe we need a different kind of leadership. I think we need a new perspective at the table. I'm concerned that people aren't being listened to and that not all groups are being represented. I believe there needs to be more work into cooperation between the council, staff and the public. I love Dunedin, but as a council, there's always more work to be done.

About me

I'm prepared to listen to everybody, I am currently studying a politics degree, so I understand legislation. I've held several governance roles throughout university, and I currently sit on a board of studies. I'm willing to put in the work to see and understand what issues there are. I've been involved with community groups for the past few years and have always wanted to do my part to make the world a better place.

My priorities

Increase consultation with public to make sure everyone feels heard.
Review into the way the council, staff and the public work together.
Create climate action plan.
