Why I'm standing

I am standing for the community board because we need strong community advocacy more than ever before. I believe we need to take a community-first approach with accountability, efficiency, better communication and smarter decision-making as the foundation. I will help ensure projects are prioritised based on community needs, wants and what is affordable.

About me

I bring deep experience in communications, PR and engagement with a strong belief in transparent, inclusive decision-making. I have worked closely with diverse communities and know how to listen, build trust and ensure voices are heard. I am committed to strengthening local democracy and making sure council reflects the needs and aspirations of Cambridge residents.

My priorities

  1. Enable stronger community voice in council decisions through better engagement and balance needs and costs.
  2. Protect and build on existing advocacy to maintain progress on key issues for Cambridge, such as the library.
  3. Engage carefully on Cambridge Connections to ensure smart, community-led progress of this project.
