Why I'm standing
I'm standing for Environment Southland because I care deeply about our people, our environment, and our future. I believe local government plays a vital role in preparing our region for the challenges ahead while creating opportunities for our communities to thrive. I want to bring fresh energy, strong collaboration, and a community-focused approach to council, ensuring decisions are made with transparency and in the best interests of Murihiku Southland.
About me
I've lived, worked, and built connections across Murihiku Southland, giving me a deep understanding of our people and places. I'm collaborative, practical, and committed to making decisions that balance community wellbeing, environmental care, and economic resilience. Through my work with local organisations and community initiatives, I've developed strong governance experience and a proven ability to bring people together. I believe in listening deeply, leading with integrity, and ensuring all voices are heard.
My priorities
- Strengthen climate resilience to protect people, homes, and communities from future impacts.
- Protect waterways and biodiversity to ensure thriving ecosystems and healthy kai for all.
- Build strong community partnerships so Murihiku Southland thrives together, now and in the future.
