Why I'm standing

We have a great opportunity to set an innovative and sustainable path for our district, one that will better support us and our environment, leaving our future generations with better options and I want to be part of creating that path.

About me

My experience in large corporates and central and local governments in several countries has helped me gain many perspectives and a good understanding of big picture thinking, how organisations work, and, specifically, how to work with people to achieve meaningful change. I volunteer in several local organisations and like to help people connect. Now I want to get even more involved to bring people together for a stronger, more connected community.

My priorities
  1. Grow our economy with sustainable initiatives and encouraging a circular economy.
  2. Protect our environment with better land use initiatives like self-sufficient micro-farming.
  3. Connect communities with opportunities to innovate, experiment and build self-reliance.
