Why I'm standing
My dream is for a society that we are proud to leave for our tamariki mokopuna. A society that thrives because of our caring and reciprocal relationship with the environment. A society that enacts the promises of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and within which our parliament centres equity and justice in every policy decision and political debate. A society where all communities have enough to live safe, happy and fulfilling lives.
About me
Kirikiriroa is my home. I am a pāpā, a teacher, a researcher, and a community organiser. I am also proudly takatāpui and whaikaha. For nearly 10 years I have taught and lead in secondary schools in both Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and Kirikiriroa Hamilton with a focus on rangatahi achieving equitable educational outcomes. I currently work as a university researcher with a focus on education, well-being and anti-racist pedagogy.
My priorities
- Advocate for greater investment in efficient, accessible and carbon neutral regional public transport.
- Protect and restore natural habitats to regenerate biodiversity and increase climate resilience.
- Enable people in our city to meet their daily living needs with our guaranteed minimum income policy.
