Why I'm standing
I believe that communities are threads that weave a great city together. I couldn't see myself represented within my local community board, and I believe I can speak for many in my ward. For those who do not feel that I may be representative of them, I am concerned, empathetic, and conscientious in informing myself to speak on their behalf.
About me
I have a personal history of community service, serving on Te Tira Kāhikuhiku which enables transitional uses of our red-zones; working with the Styx Living Laboratory Trust to enhance that precious river environment; and until recently was active on Green Effect Trust (Trees for Canterbury in Ferrymead), and Watch This Space Trust. I'm a born and raised Cantabrian and I love Ōtautahi Christchurch. With unwavering enthusiasm, I'm committed to understanding residents aspirations and concerns.
My priorities
- Funding grassroots organisations that strengthen communities and regenerate natural ecosystems.
- Requesting quick responses on issues, particularly with infrastructure.
- Develop strategies for coordinated local safety and security in light of crime waves.
