Why I'm standing
I am standing for council because I have a heart and passion for our community. I am local born and bred. We have got some challenges ahead and I want to be part of the solutions, to be strategic in our direction, to be responsive and put community wellbeing at the heart of council decisions.
About me
I have always been in places of service, in both my professional and personal spaces. I come from an education background, have governance experience and as a family we have been operating local business in the Horowhenua for over 20 years. I am grassroots, I am active, present and engaged – I just want to see our community do good, for our community to be valued and for our community to love our place.
