Why I'm standing

Kiwis deserves better. We are both talented and hardworking and should get rewarded for what we do. However, people are still struggling. High cost of living, increased crime rates, lack of infrastucture have been affecting our quality of life. Mt Roskill has been making the headlines for the wrong reasons. Our country should be a safe place to live, offer the best education and opportunities for everyone. People who work hard should be rewarded.

About me

I have lived in Mt Roskill for over 15 years together with my family. Served and volunteered in local community groups and well connected to Mt Roskill. I gained my PhD in Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease from University of Auckland, then started my own businesses with a wealth of experience in management, great strategic thinking, and financial acumen. I want to bring diversity and grassroots voices to the parliament. To advocate for our people.

My priorities
  1. Restore law and order. Our people in Mt Roskill deserve to feel safe in their homes and at work.
  2. Fight to lower the cost of living. We need to make it easier for families to get by.
  3. Build infrastructure. Mt Roskill needs better local transport options and storm water system.
