Henderson-Massey Local Board

Why I'm standing

I am running for election because I want to ensure Henderson–Massey has leadership that truly listens, represents and uplifts communities. I am a proud Pacific person with decades of experience working with youth, whānau and community organisations. I have seen both the strengths and challenges in our neighbourhoods. I want to bring inclusive, values-driven leadership that fosters connection, equity and sustainability so everyone has a voice and communities can thrive now and for future generations.

About me

I will make a good elected representative because I have spent over 27 years working alongside whānau, youth and local organisations here in Henderson–Massey. I bring strong governance experience, academic insight from my Master's in Indigenous Knowledge and current PhD work, and practical skills as a coach and community leader. I know how to listen, bring people together and deliver solutions that make neighbourhoods safer, stronger and more connected.

My priorities

1. Build stronger communities by supporting diverse voices, rangatahi and local whānau.
2. Protect nature by restoring waterways, green spaces and building climate-ready communities.
3. Support transport that keeps whānau safe and connected via walking, cycling and buses.
