Why I'm standing

I stand because I have integrity and strong values. I have a genuine understanding of the issues we currently face and I want to be part of the decision-making that allows our beautiful city and the people who live in it to thrive.

About me

The Northern Ward have been under represented in surveys, public consultation and had the lowest turnout in the 2019 Triennial Elections. There is so much work to be done in this region and I want to help the very people I live alongside. I want to help make decisions about us, but with us. I want to be the eyes, ears and voice of this community.

My priorities
  1. To have happy, healthy, thriving and connected communities.
  2. To strengthen links with mana whenua and communities of interest, eg elderly, disabled, pacifica etc.
