Why I'm standing
I believe in our community and want to see it prosper into the global superpower city it could be. Making life better for my community has always been a passion for me, and while I work to give back to communities at the moment, local policy is where the magic happens. Public service is an honour, and I don't take this opportunity for granted.
About me
I believe I come into this space with the right intentions and want to improve upon the work of generations before me. I have a social work and public policy background, so I believe I have the heart and brain to tackle some of the most significant issues our generation has faced, such as housing, climate change and youth crime and wellbeing.
My priorities
- Assist in social programs to get youth back engaged in school and education.
- Improve public transport options in my community without restricting transport freedoms.
- Improve union involvement and collective power for council workers and staff.
