Why I'm standing
I believe that I can make a positive difference in our community and give a voice to sectors that are not always heard. I want to advocate for a progressive and vibrant town that encourages people to stay or to bring their families here. I will bring a new perspective to the community board, I am a woman under 40, hard-working and experienced in governance.
About me
I have been involved in not-for-profit groups in Hāwera for the last 18 years. I am passionate about supporting my community and providing advocacy. I was elected to the Taranaki Kindergarten Board twice and I am currently on the Taranaki Diocesan School for Girls board which has given me good experience in governance. I am a member of the NZ Insititute Board of Directors and I am experienced and dedicated to our community.
My priorities
- Establish what facilities are needed to encourage families to stay in Hāwera.
- For transport infrastructure, I would encourage the council to address the issues with our roads.
- Community engagement, is the council ensuring that all sectors of our community are being heard?
