Why I'm standing
I am standing to be re-elected to the local board in Botany to continue delivering practical, community-focused solutions. As a proven leader, I've championed the dedicated youth space, opposed the Burswood Busway route change, fought for safer streets and fiscal discipline. With deep local roots, I understand Botany's diverse, vibrant needs. I'll keep pushing for council to do the basics well, tackling illegal dumping, fostering economic growth, and ensuring council accountability.
About me
I'm a dedicated community leader with deep Botany roots, elected to the local board for Botany since 2017.
