Why I'm standing
I am dedicated to doing all I can to serve our communities in Waitematā and pushing for progressive, equitable, transformational change. I believe in the power of teamwork to achieve a better future for all – one where we protect our planet, and native biodiversity, our parks and public spaces are inclusive and accessible, we put people over profit, we honour Te Tiriti, everyone has a safe, warm, affordable home, public transport is free and reliable.
About me
I will strive to represent the diverse needs of our communities in Waitematā – putting the needs of the most vulnerable first to achieve the best outcomes for all. As a young, disabled, rainbow person, I bring valuable experience, and I am dedicated to advocating for better accessibility in local government. I have excellent organisational and communication skills and am genuinely interested in the mahi, particularly in connecting with and learning from community members.
My priorities
- Work to make parks and public facilities inclusive and accessible for all – focus on most marginalised.
- Partner with mana whenua to develop restoration plans for natural environments.
- Commit to expanding Urban Ngāhere Action Plan and support community-led native planting initiatives.
