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