Why I'm standing

I want to continue to serve my community, providing my expertise in architecture, urban planning and sustainability. I really enjoy working with different facets of our community to fight for our fair share of council's resources and attention.

About me

I am a long time resident of Roskill, having grown up here at the three Mt Roskill Schools and studied architecture at the University of Auckland. I live in Three Kings and my family still lives in Roskill and Hillsborough. I believe local decisions should be made locally by locals.

My priorities

Supporting our community volunteers who do so much out of love for our area.
Ensuring developers think about how their developments will suit our community's needs and services.
Uplifting the voices of those who are usually not heard – ethnic and marginalised communities.
