Why I'm standing

As a community advocate, I have proactively participated in and contributed to many of the city's diverse communities through my networks. I am passionate about bringing people together to make a positive difference for our local area and Wellington City as a whole. 

About me

As an independent candidate with no party affiliation, I am committed, approachable and energetic, will listen to you respectfully and put Wellingtonians first. I would now like to put the skills, experience and relationships I have developed towards being your representative on the city council. I will be a strong and collaborative voice for our local community by working with other representatives to solve the major challenges in the Northern Ward and Wellington together.

My priorities
  1. Infrastructure - upgrading the city's ageing infrastructure and public facilities.
  2. Value for money - quality spending of rates and prioritising expenditure.
  3. Improve public transport services and they must be readily available, reliable and affordable.
