Why I'm standing
I love the Bays and want our community to continue being the best place for families to grow and thrive. I've had some great wins in my first three years as a local board member and I have a big action plan I want to see delivered for our community over the next term.
About me
My background is as a policy analyst and communications manager. I've also been a senior staffer to Murray McCully MP in the East Coast Bays. I'm experienced in strategy and policy development, planning, and preparing multi-million dollar budgets. My expertise in evidence-based decision-making and public consultation ensures your rates contribute to projects and services that deliver. I am well connected in the Bays as a local volunteer for multiple organisations.
My priorities
- Improve sedimentation control monitoring on building sites, to reduce runoff in our marine reserve.
- Fund town centre improvements from existing plans to support our business districts to thrive.
- Provide a disability beach access mat at one of our popular beaches.
