Why I'm standing
I am a resident and community worker of 40 years in Mangere. I now have the time to reinvest my passion, experience and hopefully some wisdom back to the intergenerational wellbeing of Mangere Otahuhu. I believe I bring a wealth of networks and diverse relationships and have the skills to lead at a local board level.
About me
I have 40 years' experience leading local organisations and networks in health, education, sports and social services. I am well connected and respectful of networks and communities locally, regionally and nationally. I have lived in Mangere since 1990 but have worked here since the 1970s. I have seen my children grow to adulthood in Māngere Ōtāhuhu and now see some of my moko thriving in our local community and neighbourhood.
My priorities
- Establish an inclusive and diverse local board and encourage participation.
- Celebrate and utilise local networks, passion and expertise.
- Ensure we have the natural and built environment which enables both present and future wellbeing.
