Why I'm standing
I believe Tairāwhiti has had a tough couple of years and it is urgent that I build increased resilience in our landscapes, businesses and communities. I have supported farmers over the past five years through some of the region's most complex challenges, including post-Cyclone recovery, securing over $3 million investment for the region. With a wide network of support in government, funding and local community, I think I can add value at the table for GDC.
About me
I have a strong background in funding, science, education, conservation and experience working across both local and central government. I am a practical, positive and solutions-focused person. I am actively involved in the community as co-chair of the Eastern Whio Link conservation project. I am also a surfer and involved with many of the schools across the region as an educator. I bring honesty, grounded experience and a deep commitment to the East Coast.
My priorities
- Build resilience into landscapes through land-based solutions that retain water in the system.
- Build the infrastructure needed in the 30 year plan that supports business needs.
- Increase big business investment in the region and landscapes. Retain profits locally.
