Why I'm standing
I believe in strengths-based community-led action that invests in the well-being of our people and community. We have a unique, diverse and entrepreneurial community and we are dependent on one another to be a thriving, inclusive and future-focused region.
About me
I have been a councillor for three years and sought opportunities to broaden my experience in governance, education, not-for-profit sector, contract management and delivery. I endeavour to work with integrity and compassion, it would be a privilege to continue to serve our Waitaki District.
My priorities
- Focus on visionary leadership that focuses on the wellbeing of our community.
- Being inclusive of our community cultural needs when making decisions at the council table.
- Being visible and advocate the views of our district at local, regional and national forums.
