Why I'm standing

I'm running because I love this city, but I'm concerned about the future of Wellington. We currently don't have enough houses to support our growing population and a council that neglects some of our most basic necessities. I'm standing to provide a fresh voice and a push for progress for both the eastern suburbs and our capital city!

About me

As both someone with management experience and as a student that's reliant on the services provided by the council, I understand the value of evidence-based decision-making and real community knowledge. I am active in the community, as a member of the Miramar and Maupuia Community Centre board, as a volunteer and as a resident. My blend of management experience alongside my position as a young person and student will provide a fresh perspective.

My priorities
  1. Urgently repair our water infrastructure.
  2. Improve transport for all by incentivising public transport use and fixing congestion chokepoints.
  3. Ensure that council spends wisely.
