Why I'm standing

I love living in the Hawke's Bay region, and to me Hastings is the heart of Hawke's Bay. I wanted to contribute to the growth of our communities and to offer a fresh voice in council.

About me

I grew up locally and have been an advocate for establishing a region film office, I am open minded and approachable with a solutions based mindset and eagerness to learn.

My priorities

Create opportunities and engagement for our youth to grow strong communities.
Commit to finding solutions for accessible and affordable housing.
Commit to keeping rates increases down.
