Why I'm standing

Kerikeri is a special town with a very bright future, and I want to be part of ensuring we plan for that future and Kerikeri continues to be a great place to live.

About me

I will bring experience and skills from my corporate career to the community board – skills such as strategic thinking, scenario planning, communications and financial forecasting. I'm comfortable asking tough questions and weighing up complex issues. Growing up in Whangārei instilled in me a deep love of the North. The rich history, our gorgeous beaches and our productive land are just some of the reasons I call Kerikeri home.

My priorities
  1. Ensure we have the services and infrastructure to support a thriving, growing town.
  2. Act as a strong link to the council, so that local priorities and concerns are heard and actioned.
  3. Preserve the things that make Kerikeri a unique community while embracing our future potential.
