As a 40 year resident, four years now in Innes, I have been active in community building, neighbourhood support, Civil Defence, also liaising with council and community boards, I know the system. I have presented on liquor licensing, safer cohesive communities, been on working groups and addressed tribunals and planning commissions. I have confidence, knowledge, experience and contribute to my neighbours regularly, e.g. during covid setting up food exchange and transport help.
As a former teacher, over a spectrum from primary to secondary to tertiary and tutoring in Paparua prison, I am trained to manage people and situations. With educational administrative experience, as the Frontline manager of staff at CPIT, now ARA, I am used to lateral thinking, finding solutions. As a resident in Innes I set up help for neighbours (happen to be Muslim) for support following Mosque terrorism. I also have wide media experience.
