Why I'm standing

I want to contribute my skills and experience to give back to the communities and environment that have been a major part of my life here in Canterbury.

About me

With a background in science and years working in Christchurch communities, I have the skills and experience to work constructively at the council table as part of a team.

My priorities
  1. Work with organisations and groups to act on climate change – both mitigation and adaptation.
  2. Work with organisations/groups to build regenerative practice across rural and urban environments.
  3. Improve public transport options regionally and inter-regionally and increase use of that transport.
