Why I'm standing
I have always been passionate about our district. I believe I can add value to the district with my positive collaborative management style. I have been well connected within the community for the past 30 years and have worked in and across diverse groups of people.
About me
As a civil engineer, I have spent over 30 years working in local civil construction. During this time, I immersed myself in governance roles on executive boards of local community, school, contracting and sporting organisations. In the past 20 years particularly, I worked in senior infrastructure management roles in Northland. I understand the importance of building relationships, trust, openness and working together.
My priorities
- Build a cohesive positive environment for all councillors to participate and thrive in.
- Settle (and move on from) long outstanding issues. This is important to be able to move forward.
- Review the current procurement model and gain the confidence of the local infrastructure industry.
