| Councillor for Paekawakawa Southern Ward
Why I'm standing
I'm committed to having Wellington/Pōneke be a world-leading city that is thriving, good for nature and fair for everyone. So how can we get there? We must enhance Wellington's worldwide reputation is an innovative, creative and diverse capital, nestled in nature. Let's work together to create a Wellington/Pōneke our young people want to inherit. We must work in partnership with mana whenua to uphold our Te Tiriti promises and ensure everyone thrives.
About me
I've lived in Wellington/Pōneke all my life and with my family in Berhampore for 23 years. I've created a small business, where I pioneered ethical fashion in Aotearoa. I then worked with a not-for-profit organisation to help Wellington businesses have a positive environmental and social impact.
My priorities
- Move Wellington toward a circular food system by delivering a food and green waste collection service.
- Deliver a connected Southern route bus priority and cycleway from the waterfront to Tapu Teranga.
- Progress a circular economy with a resource recovery park at the landfill and hubs around the city.
