Why I'm standing

Born in Whangārei, I believe to make the changes that are best for the present and future residents and visitors.

About me

I get called the go-to girl, always checking in on all walks of people and bringing connection and doing problem-solving. Known to complete the task and follow through.

My priorities
  1. Our assets are our pride, and with those, we can build a community and city to thrive in. Secure these.
  2. Introduce a reward system to CBD businesses, eg reduced parking per owner. Security after hours.
  3. Reduce the waste that goes into commercial waste bins. Do a reward reduced system to all.
