Why I'm standing
I want to give back to the community and use my experience leading large teams of young people and working in a prominent business to make the community a better place. I want to listen and advocate for the area and make it even better than it already is.
About me
I am passionate about this community, having moved here four years ago, and want to see it fulfil the enormous potential it has. I am a great listener and deep thinker about policy issues. I have studied policy at university and want to marry up my local business experience with an entry into local government politics through a community board.
My priorities
- Advocate for a strong growth plan for this area.
- Listen to the concerns of the community and be their voice.
- Make sure every dollar taken from a ratepayer is spent appropriately and with a focus on outcomes.
