Why I'm standing
Our community has faced some unique challenges over the last 15 years. We need someone to represent us who understands these first-hand. A fresh voice from the community with fresh ideas addressing local issues. I love my community, I want the very best for it and I am more than prepared to put my hand up to serve.
About me
Having served in the teaching profession for 25 years as a teacher, head of department, and dean, I know how to genuinely listen to student and parent concerns, to problem solve community issues, and provide structured guidance and advice. I am an authentic, thoughtful and deliberate leader who always works collaboratively and leads by example. Let me put my experience and knowledge to work for our community.
My priorities
- Improve the infrastructure of our community to ensure more positive social engagement of youth.
- Improve road safety in our community so that pedestrians, cyclists and commuters are safe.
- Ensure that we are adapting to climate change through common-sense approaches.
