Why I'm standing

I'm standing for community board because I'm passionate about this region and I want to advocate for our community and environment. I believe we are incredibly lucky to live here, but not without our challenges. I'm motivated by a desire to help the community and our beautiful environment.

About me

I have project experience and am used to working collaboratively with a broad range of people. While I get along with anyone, I'm not scared to speak up, or disagree, when needed. As a community advocate, I will be fair and firm. I'm no stranger to physical labour, nor research, reports and consultation. Working in a communications team for many years has given me an understanding of information channels and the importance of good outreach.
