Why I'm standing

I am very passionate about the Hauraki District and its residents. I believe I am able to contribute positively to the continued development of the district while representing its people well.

About me

I am involved in multiple committees including the Kerepehi Brass Band, where I am currently President/Chairperson. Being raised with practical hands and going through Hauraki Plains College, where I was privileged to be Head Boy, I have developed a respect for the hard-working farmers and business owners on the Plains. I believe I will bring a practical and sustainable lens to decision-making.

My priorities
  1. Create practical and sustainable solutions that benefit business, residents, and farmers.
  2. Develop and plant community spaces creating more aesthetic while still usable space.
  3. Encourage more involvement from youth in community organisations.
