Why I'm standing

I believe the Whau is in a unique position to lead the way and become the most inclusive, accessible, and environmentally-friendly part of Tāmaki Makaurau.

About me

I live and work in the Whau, where my two children attend local school and daycare. I run a charity for children with disabilities, and bring experience and passion for inclusivity and accessibility. I believe I have the energy, compassion, and community spirit to represent Whau residents and ensure we are the best that we can be.

My priorities
  1. Improve disability access to retail, businesses, and public facilities for a more inclusive Whau.
  2. Continue progress on cycleways to make the Whau a safer place to travel by foot or by bike.
  3. Look after our green spaces for our mental health, physical health, and for our environment.
