Why I'm standing
I have heard many in our community say they do not have a voice in the council and that nothing gets done. I want to advocate for them and help make a change.
About me
I have worked in both local government and in the insurance industry helping rural communities rebuild after natural disasters. I see that we need to build resilient communities, I have experience in working with people from different backgrounds and helping them come together. I care about peoples material conditions and helping them thrive.
My priorities
- Build a resilient community, one that can stand against climate change and against economic hardship.
- Connect people in the community to share skills and services, to build business and opportunity.
- Listen to what people need and take action in the council.
