Why I'm standing
The Bays used to be the safest place in the country, I am concerned we are now inundated with a huge upsurge in crime. I believe in community connectedness, preventing crime through networks. I absolutely love the Bays and will strive for a harmonious, safe home, school, street and business community.
About me
I am a business owner and am passionate about a thriving local economy. I have an MBA and have been a marketing manager for multi million dollar organisations in the education and publication sector. I am passionate about youth and have run many youth initiatives to mentor and champion them on in their pursuits. I have worked with gangs and at risk youth and have transitioned some of them into education and employment.
My priorities
- Advocate for community safety and connectedness by promoting community patrol and neighbourhood support.
- I will advocate for a youth hub funded by council in partnership with local businesses.
- Revitalise the local business economy and work with local business associations.
