I am passionate about this city, and I would love to serve the wider community through being on council because I currently do not see some of the perspectives that I hold being represented and I want to advocate for voices that I can currently see are missing out, from the communities I represent and engage with, for the benefit of the present and well into the future.
Born and bred in Te Awakairangi ki Tai/Lower Hutt, I have a mix of experiences in various sectors – community, retail, hospitality, faith groups, youth, food resilience and over a decade's experience in governance. I am super passionate about environmental and social justice, I love this city, and most importantly, I am grounded in the community.
