Why I'm standing

I genuinely love Manurewa and the diversity of our people. As a lifelong resident, I have seen the growing disparity in Manurewa, and I believe it's time for fresh, innovative thinking, to ensure we are meeting the needs of all residents of Manurewa, especially our most vulnerable.

About me

I am a compassionate and caring wahine, who brings a wealth of skills and experience to the table. I have worked in the education, community and public sectors, and have strong analytical, strategy and advocacy skills. Having lived in Manurewa my entire life, I understand the worldview and perspectives of residents and the vulnerabilities our whānau face daily. I am committed to authentic representation and ensuring all voices are amplified.

My priorities

Improved outcomes for our rangatahi (young people) and kaumatua (elderly).
Position all future decisions on environmental impact and climate change as a priority.
Build vibrancy and culture through improved spaces and facilities in the community.
