Why I'm standing

I love where I live and I want to ensure that the decisions of today lead to the best outcomes for our children. I am keen to listen and advocate for the well being of everyone in our community. I commit to doing so with humility and determination

About me

I bring national experience in policy development as senior leader at NZQA, and chair of the education minister appointed task force to improve governance and management of NZ schools. I have demonstrable leadership skills as former principal of three secondary schools and former president of the Secondary Principals Association of NZ. I am active in the community as a board member of the Toi foundation and Teach First NZ.

My priorities
  1. Create a vibrant city centre – this includes housing, transport and of course businesses.
  2. Support environmentally sustainable economic development, including public transport.
  3. Better support those who are disadvantaged in our community.
