Why I'm standing

I want Kirikiriroa Hamilton to be a place where all people thrive, where inequity is addressed, poverty is no longer, climate change is mitigated and nature thrives. I want our city to be walkable, with safe cycleways and reliable, affordable public transport. I want our city to offer an abundance of arts, recreation and education opportunities especially for our young people. I want Kirikiriroa Hamilton to lead the way as the city of the future.

About me

I have worked at the grassroots for many years, advocating and researching on social issues and developing environmental initiatives. I currently serve on Trust Waikato and a host of other smaller community trusts. I believe that I have the skills, vision, governance experience and community relationships to make an effective and worthy contribution at the Council table.

My priorities
  1. Increase community connection through well designed neighbourhoods and accessible facilities.
  2. Increase nature through increased tree planting, tree protection and weed and predator control.
  3. Improve transport options to reduce congestion, improve wellbeing and mitigate climate change.
