Why I'm standing
I am running for Horizons Regional Council to be a strong, inclusive voice for Palmerston North. I have experience across education, health and government and have seen the need for transparent leadership and practical solutions. I care deeply about our environment, our communities and our future. I want to help shape a region where people feel heard, supported and empowered – where decisions reflect real needs and where we work together to build a better tomorrow.
About me
I bring over 15 years of experience in executive administration, governance support and stakeholder engagement across education, government and non-profits. I have worked with diverse communities and understand the importance of listening, collaboration and accountability. My commitment to transparent decision-making and inclusive leadership means I will advocate for policies that reflect real community needs. I am deeply connected to Palmerston North and passionate about building a region where people, nature and opportunity thrive together.
My priorities
- Promote transparent governance by building trust through open, accountable decisions.
- Decrease rates to ease cost of living by cutting waste and improving council efficiency.
- Improve transport access by expanding public and active options, cutting emissions and connecting communities.
