Why I'm standing
I'm in love with the community and the region which has been a core part of my life for over 30 years and feel it is time I gave back to the community through the act of standing up to represent it on the local government level. I don't care for politics but find the processes of local government fascinating and would like to contribute where I can.
About me
I have a unique background and skill set in account management, sales, software development and support. I create and foster new relationships, mentor new businesses and problem solve on a daily basis in my current job. I am an active member in the local community and am very proud to live in Little River and raise my family here. I am a pragmatic and results driven individual that will put our community first wherever possible.
My priorities
- Ensure Wairewa remains strongly represented and has a strong voice at the council level.
- Preserve and foster what makes our local community and environment unique and special.
- Champion the community and help its residents flourish and have opportunities.
