Why I'm standing

I want to ensure a younger voice is present at local council to acknowledge the outcomes for future generations, represent the hardships of young people and inspire a creative and innovative long term vision for the future of the region.

About me

As a designer, I specialise in critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. I have strong values and bring good emotional intelligence to a team, bringing people together and helping refine issues to their most immovable form through first principals thinking. I spend a large part of my life currently working for the community ensuring I am working towards these ideals now not just promising to if elected.

My priorities
  1. Affordable housing.
  2. Bringing better paid, more reliable and meaningful jobs to the region.
