Why I'm standing

This city has been too good to me, to not give back in the best way I know how and that is by serving its interests and the serving Wellingtonians on a council platform. I know there should be more representation on council for people like myself and I am honoured to be able to put myself forward.

About me

I am a student, a mum, a public servant, a unionist, and a Wellingtonian at heart. Next to my lived experience which gives me an elevated appreciation for democracy, I also have strong skills that I have built up over the years from the private to the public sector. And I am one to utilise all that I have to ensure best outcomes for the people that I serve.

My priorities
  1. Housing!!! Because it is a fundamental right that everyone is in a safe warm dry affordable home.
  2. Infrastructure – if it's not built well we will feel the repercussions along with generations to come.
  3. Transport – this goes hand in hand with other priorities. The city needs to be accessible and safe.
