Why I'm standing
Kia Ora, Hello, Dobro dosli! I offer voters the skills, experience, mana and maturity to bring together this new-look council and focus on what's important for the whole Far North. Have been skilling up for this job for 20+ years. Check out my website 'about us' for more about what I've been contributing to in the community. Basically, I get stuff done, have a positive can-do attitude and confidence to speak up for our community.
About me
Have been a community advocate and champion after a flood destroyed our home at Whangape. This event inspired a lifetime of servant leadership, to make a positive difference especially for vulnerable communities. Many roles in governance, committee, employment, education, community development, including three terms on community boards. A systems change manager, planner, event host, advocate and a mum. Involved with Ahipara Aroha, Civil Defence, Te Hautapoki Church, local rugby and sports. Basically, I've got skills.
My priorities
- Pull together new council, understand their strengths, passions and develop solid team relationships.
- Advocate to keep the roads open, bridges fixed and sort the RFS system.
- Develop the local voice to council table planning pathway and engage elected members to facilitate.
