Why I'm standing
For me, Waitematā is one of the most vibrant and diverse communities in Aotearoa. I am passionate about making it an even better place in which to live and work. I want to support and enhance a broader range of transport options, expand its green spaces. protect its magnificent harbour, and make its city centre safer. I am also absolutely committed to advocating for the needs and rights of inner-city residents in urban planning decisions.
About me
I am a longstanding Waitematā resident and currently enjoy living in an apartment in Freemans Bay. As a University of Auckland Professor of Education, I have had an extensive engagement with local schools. I was on the Board of Trustees of Western Springs College for six years during the time of its major rebuild and have been involved with Richmond Road School for decades. I am committed to equity and inclusion for all Waitematā residents.
My priorities
- Support residents and businesses in a climate action plan to halve carbon emissions in the next decade.
- Working with mana whenua and community groups to protect the environment in our city and its harbour.
- Advocating for inner city residents, who are too often ignored in urban planning and decision-making.
