Why I'm standing
I love working for our community and have had a productive term. However, there is more that I want to achieve for you: I want to continue working on your behalf to improve our environment and water quality; increase public transport options; and continue to advocate against bloated council costs, unnecessary spending and the constant threat of park sales.
About me
I have many years of community service including having served as a Local Board member, North Shore City Councillor and Community Board member. This has provided me with an extensive understanding of our communities needs. I have an MPhil Public Policy, in local government and active recreation. I also have experience as a member of the Birkenhead Licensing Trust. I grew up in Kaipātiki and live in Beach Haven with my husband and two boys.
My priorities
- Continue working on your behalf to improve our environment and water quality.
- Increase public transport options.
- Continue to advocate against bloated council costs and the constant threat of park sales.
