Why I'm standing

I love our district and want to preserve our cultural heritage and environment for future generations.

About me

I believe it is time for the younger generations to engage with the local democratic system and have their say in the future of our district. I value accountability, transparency and equality and will fight to ensure local government actions reflect the needs of our people now and for generations to come. I have experience in Corporate Quality and Risk Management, Health Advocacy Services, and freelance Small Business Consulting.

My priorities

Retain local ownership and management of water assets under proposed Three Waters reforms.
Form risk management strategies to build resilience against severe weather events/natural disasters.
Improve community engagement strategies and council responsiveness to community needs.
