Why I'm standing

Taupō and the wider Waikato have been my home for the last 23 years. I care about the well-being of our region and have an interest in keeping it the best it can be especially through all the upcoming reforms that will need to be tackled.

About me

I love learning, finding solutions, organising and analysing information. These are qualities along with listening and being able to work calmly under pressure I believe will benefit council if I am elected. I value all people and am a believer in being the caretaker and defender of nature and our environment. I am hoping to help shape our region's future.

My priorities
  1. Healthy ecosystems.
  2. Climate change action across the region.
  3. Sustainable development.
