Why I'm standing

I'm passionate about Waipā District and care about what happens in our communities.

About me

I was born and raised in the Pirongia-Kakepuku Ward, and have lived in Pirongia Village for the last 27 years. I have a First Class Honours Degree in Business and have also been involved in lots of volunteer roles. I successfully led a community conservation group for Mt Pirongia for 20 years. I operate with integrity, respect and like to get into the detail of things. I have a fantastic track record on Council already.

My priorities
  1. Climate action.
  2. Seeking a better outcome for councils on the current Three Waters Reform proposal.
  3. Empowering our communities to be partners with council for an amazing future together.
