Why I'm standing
I am running because I've seen how predetermined decisions and budget cuts leave communities like ours exposed. After experiencing the impact of the 2023 floods, I know how urgent it is to prepare better for the challenges ahead. As a local mum and small business owner, I want to stand up for practical decision-making so Devonport-Takapuna has a strong, independent voice and a more resilient future.
About me
I am an associate chartered accountant with a postgraduate certificate in forensic and investigative auditing. I know how to scrutinise budgets and ensure resources are used wisely. I have attended several local board meetings to learn the ropes. Having sat on the board of my community center, I understand the importance of balancing financial responsibility with people focused outcomes. I bring a no-nonsense, practical, common-sense approach to decision making.
My priorities
- Advocate for stronger flood protection along Wairau Creek to safeguard homes and businesses.
- Support cleaning up Lake Pupuke to improve water quality, biodiversity and safe recreation.
- Maintain and upgrade community facilities to keep them safe, welcoming and fit for the future.
