Why I'm standing

After more than 10 years living on the North Shore, I know the challenges our community faces. Rising costs, failing pipes and poor roads show that priorities are badly wrong. With my background as a business owner and community advocate, I understand how to set clear priorities and deliver results.

About me

I have lived on the North Shore for more than 10 years and understand the challenges our community faces. As a business owner and community advocate, I know how to set priorities, manage budgets and deliver results. I am also an active volunteer, helping with Meals on Wheels, and a supporter of Takapuna FC, where my husband plays as a goalkeeper. These connections keep me closely involved with local people and community life.

My priorities
  1. Cut wasteful spending and keep rates low so families and businesses can thrive.
  2. Fix basics including roads, drains and water infrastructure that locals depend on.
  3. Cut red tape so homes and businesses can grow affordably.
