Why I'm standing

Matamata-Piako is the most beautiful part of the Waikato, and I aim to keep it that way.

About me

In addition to volunteering for local organisations, including Scouts and Predator Free, I have a world of experience in education and finance that are valuable for our council.

My priorities
  1. Keep Matamata-Piako beautiful and our rivers clean with continued removal of predators and pest plants.
  2. Improve our cycling trails and walking connectivity.
  3. Support for public transport, including trains within the region.
