Why I'm standing

I'm running for election because I want to help make Devonport–Takapuna a community where everyone feels included, connected and valued. Over the years, I've seen how local decisions impact daily life, from public spaces to services, and I want to ensure residents' voices are heard. I care about our neighbourhoods, our people and our future, and I want to contribute my experience, energy and passion to making our area an even better place to live.

About me

I will make a good elected representative because I bring lived experience, professional expertise and a deep commitment to inclusion. As an accessibility advocate, I've worked for years to ensure public spaces, transport and facilities are welcoming for everyone. I listen to diverse voices, collaborate with communities and focus on practical solutions. My dedication, attention to detail and understanding of local needs mean I can represent all residents effectively and fairly.

My priorities
  1. Make Devonport–Takapuna accessible and welcoming for all ages and abilities.
  2. Strengthen community through events, recreation and safe spaces.
  3. Protect the environment and plan for resilient, sustainable growth.
