Why I'm standing

I love Kaipātiki—the reserves, the coast, our great walking tracks, and our sports and cultural groups. I bring experienced professional governance. I have done extensive fundraising for the community and disability advocacy.

About me

I have lived locally and have extensive connections within the community. I am proactive in communicating and engaging with as many people as possible on issues that may affect them.

My priorities
  1. Increase resourcing to sports and recreational facilities.
  2. Protect the environment and make more of Kaipātiki pest free.
  3. Reopen bush walks damaged in the 2023 floods such as Le Roy's Bush.
