Why I'm standing
I have thoroughly enjoyed serving my community for the previous six years (three at council and three on the Omokoroa Community Board) and know there is still more to do.
About me
I have a post-graduate qualification in the subjects that councils deal with so understand the issues. I have listened to the community for the last six years and have a good grasp of the role of governance from my business experience.
