Why I'm standing

Whilst I am not at all sexist, I note there is a large proportion of male councillors. I believe we need a balance in council.

About me

I have lived in Palmerston North for the majority of my life and have experience in a number of community organisations. I would consider myself a team player and will always speak up for those who are experiencing discrimination in one way or another.

My priorities

Encourage greater transparency from council.
Facilitate improved connections with the community and the council.
Encourage partnerships with the community and the council.
