Why I'm standing

My background and experience has been in local and central government and having worked as Communications Manager at Christchurch City Council, and in The Beehive, I have skills I want to use.

About me

I've sat in many Christchurch City Council meetings, I know government (eg The Beehive, housing, digital, corrections, statistics) grew up locally and I want to give back and make Rangiora and North Canterbury even better.

My priorities

To support the prudent foundations of past councils and current directions and priorities.
To keep our council as sensible and democratic, despite any attacks on democracy and law and order.
To promote greater social cohesion through priorities of council and engaging with local communities.
