Why I'm standing
Having served nine years as a councillor for Upper Hutt, I believe we need someone in the regional council that advocates for Upper Hutt and works with our city for the betterment of the region. Upper Hutt needs a successful Wellington Region to thrive. I want to be your voice around the table to help make that happen, and I have the experience and track record to prove that I can do it.
About me
The Wellington region has always been my home. Born and bred in the Hutt, I have served Upper Hutt as a local councillor for nine years, including representing Upper Hutt on a number of regional committees. Extensively qualified, I hold an Executive MBA and have pursued postgraduate studies in international security, sustainable development and disaster management. I want my kids to be proud of their region and to be a good ancestor to future generations.
My priorities
- Sustainable resilience. We must invest in long-term security to ensure better future preparedness.
- Delivery. We must do what we say, when we say we will do it. We must deliver our planned projects.
- Genuine growth. We need more housing and better infrastructure, but must get sustainability right.
Current role
Upper Hutt City Councillor, Chair of Risk and Assurance.
