Why I'm standing
I feel that at this point in time I can make a real contribution to the Mercury Bay area. I have experience in UX design (ask me about this), complimented by a background in business, design and marketing, which I believe gives me a unique perspective and enables me to think outside the box. I feel this is something our area needs in these challenging times.
About me
I moved to Whitianga 2 years ago and ran a software development company in Auckland. I have travelled all over the world, so I know what a special place we have here. I currently own and run two local businesses, both with a drive to support locals. I am the chairperson on two boards, the NZ Mini Golf Federation, and Whitianga Toy Library, along with the marketing officer of the NZ Toy Library Federation.
My priorities
- Enhance transparency and engagement in community board processes.
- Plan for future resilience. For example, active transport and coastal management.
- Advocate for council spaces to be managed in such a way as to promote their safe use.
