Why I'm standing

Kere Kere needs strong forward looking representation in council. We have huge but unexploited tourist potential.

About me

Since arriving in the district I have chaired several successful organisations improving both their financial and operational situations. I have wide international experience as an industrial psychologist and a registered foreign expert in China. I am able to see the big picture as well as the detail understanding that people are our greatest asset and need correct treatment for best results. I avoid the one size fits all syndrome.

My priorities
  1. Build a caring community that interacts with all members with understanding and cultural sensitivity.
  2. Develop the district into an attractive, thriving area for visitors residents and businesses.
  3. Help the community feel that their council will listen to them and can improve their lifestyle.
