Why I'm standing
I have the passion, experience and love for our special town needed to be a councillor. I want Carterton to be a place my kids love and their kids will too. I believe having diversity around the table is important and I bring a strong focus on families and youth and work to ensure intergenerational thinking is always prioritised.
About me
I have a BCom/ BSc and governance experience on the council and on South End Schools' Board of Trustees. I have worked as a management consultant for Deloitte, I have been the co-ordinator for our local business association, I dreamt up and run A Very Carterton Christmas and I currently own Newman Electrical with my husband Jack. We have four kids and our family are heavily involved in the community.
My priorities
- Review economic development spend and focus on a needs-driven, local-led approach aiming for growth.
- Explore diverse revenue sources to reduce reliance on rates given the small ratings base.
- Partner with locals to facilitate and support vibrant, community-led initiatives.
