Why I'm standing
I'm standing for grassroots community voices. As a committed community worker, I understand the challenges at ground level. I believe in working with people, especially around climate change, equipping our communities, and championing young people to stand on local boards. I believe I can bring a new perspective to the table.
About me
My background is in community development. In my experience as a Māori Liaison Advisor at tertiary level, I bring strong engagement between institutions, the community, and local iwi. I am currently managing the Kelston Community Hub, I coordinate the Whau Homeless Network, and I have a social enterprise empowering women. It's important to have the right skills and experience. I believe in making change for the good, people before profit.
My priorities
- Advocate for our grassroots organisations that do good in our community.
- Priority to our environment and cleaning our waterways, especially the Whau River.
- Advocate for young people in the Whau, and build a relationship with Whau Youth Board.
