Why I'm standing
I'm an active community person and I have built many trusted relationships in Kawerau. I want to be the vessel that people can utilise to be heard at the council table.
About me
I am a local girl, born and raised in Kawerau. I have never left and I don't intend to. I'm a local business owner caring for adults with disabilities, and I'm a director of the nonprofit organisation Koha ki Kawerau which supports whānau in need. I also provide underprivileged children with Christmas gifts in December. It's fair to say, when I see the need in our community, I will create a solution!
My priorities
- Continue to build trusted relationships within the community through my work.
- Reveal the quiet voices at the council table and authorise them to be heard.
- Find solutions for those who face everyday struggles, ie disability and poverty.
