Why I'm standing
I love Auckland, and I am committed to serving Waitematā, the Gulf Islands, and the wider city. I am running as an independent to fully represent our community, deliver practical solutions for transport, housing, and the environment, help revive local tourism, and ensure residents' voices shape decisions across Auckland. Our city needs fair representation, strong advocacy, and a balance between growth and protecting community character.
About me
I will bring a combination of professional experience and community commitment. I have worked in film production, real estate, project management, and hotel development, giving me a strong understanding of urban planning, development, and business challenges. I am passionate about serving the Waitematā and Gulf community, and I engage directly with residents to listen, learn, and help find practical solutions. I am approachable, collaborative, and fully accountable as an independent representative.
My priorities
- Protect historic buildings while allowing high-density housing to keep neighbourhoods livable.
- Fund major infrastructure via Auckland Future Fund to support growth without raising rates.
- Promote arts, culture, sports and film to revive tourism, create jobs and boost the economy.
