Why I'm standing
I'm running for election because I care about Dunedin's future and want to give back to the community that has shaped me. I've seen both the strengths and struggles in our city, and I believe council needs fresh energy and a fair, collaborative approach. For me, this is about ensuring decisions are made with people at the heart and building a city where everyone can thrive.
About me
I bring fresh energy, accountability and a commitment to fairness. Through community organising, student leadership and local advocacy I've learned how to listen, bring people together and get results. My connections across Dunedin, from young people to community groups, keep me grounded in the issues people face every day. I want to use that experience to work constructively, stand up for people and ensure every voice has a place in local decision-making.
My priorities
- Expand community housing so everyone has access to warm, affordable homes.
- Invest in climate-resilient infrastructure to protect South Dunedin from flooding and erosion.
- Advocate for keeping Dunedin Hospital fully funded with no cuts or delays.
