Why I'm standing

I want West Ward to get its fair share from the Hamilton City Council.

About me

I am a combination of energy and enthusiasm. I worked as a pharmacist more than 50 hours a week in the testing times of Covid-19. I have also worked for the community on a voluntary basis. I have been conducting laughter yoga classes, teaching yoga and led community tree planting. I now want to take more responsibility and do more for my community.

My priorities

Providing council maintained toilets in shopping areas of Nawton and other Western suburbs.
Providing parking bays for people who have to park on the road.
Putting city council regulations in place so infill housing does not affect quality of life.
