Why I'm standing

I hope that the voters will consider electing me as I have valuable experience to offer, having served as an elected member on Palmerston North City Council for nine years. I like working on complex issues and have a Master in Business Administration (MBA), which should come in handy.

About me

I believe elected members and council staff are there to serve the people, to listen and to take heed of the people who pay for our existence. With this mindset I know I can do a great job.

My priorities
  1. Get the elected members and CEO working as a team.
  2. Find out what skills are round the table and what each member hopes to achieve for the community.
  3. Get town and country working in perfect harmony!
