Why I'm standing

I'm running because I want Auckland to be a city that works for everyone - where our communities are connected and our environment is protected. I want a Tāmaki Makaurau where neighbours look out for one another, young people feel hopeful, nature is within reach, and everyone has a secure place to call home. I care about my community, and want to see everyone thriving.

About me

I am a qualified urban planner and designer with experience in community-led transport and environmental initiatives. I've directed the Albert-Eden-Puketāpapa Eco Festival and I'm the founder of the Waterview School Bike Train and the Waterview Community and Enviro Hub. I'm a co-founder of Women in Urbanism Aotearoa and a Generation Zero alumna.

My priorities
  1. Support greater transport options and greater public transport frequency.
  2. Protect and restore waterways in Ōwairaka including Oakley and Meola creeks.
  3. Invest in local prosocial activities that support safer neighbourhoods and town centres.
