Why I'm standing
As your independent local board representative I want to rebuild your trust that local government works for YOU and YOUR COMMUNITY. Bearing the brunt of decisions by Auckland super city representatives not linked to our communities is not right. Communities working together know best what they need and how to make it happen. So with transparency and inclusiveness I want to empower all urban and rural communities to have a valued voice in local decisions.
About me
As a leading member of Fight the Tip I have proven advocacy and collaboration skills, working with community and iwi to protect our area against the Dome Valley Landfill. I've lived locally for approximately 28 years, taught at Tapora School for nine years, including eight years on the school board, and gained business skills as Branch Manager for Neville Newcomb and in various administration and purchasing roles during 14 years at Times Colour Print Warkworth.
My priorities
- Work as a team with community, all local board members and councillors to improve our communities.
- Advocate for council to listen to you, because locals are the heart and soul of community.
- Push for transparent decision making to ensure efficient fair services based on your priorities.
