Why I'm standing

I am running for Howick Local Board election because this is the place we live and love. Pakuranga and Howick need renewal and upgrades to meet its growth. I want to contribute to make it an even better place we call home.

About me

I'm ready to commit fully to serving and improving the community. As a business owner, I balance practical solutions with long-term sustainability. I've gained hands-on governance experience. I'm ready to bring that same proactive mindset to the Howick Local Board: tackling challenges head-on, driving measurable improvements, and ensuring every project delivers real value for our community.

My priorities
  1. Fair funding for Howick to provide better facilities and better services for the communities.
  2. Revitalise Pakuranga including parks and reserves renewal.
  3. Create a safer Howick by preventing crime, fire and flooding.
