Why I'm standing

I am running because our community needs someone who does not just talk, but acts. Since taking over Mangere Town Centre, I have delivered real, visible change – cleaner town centre, safer space, revitalised facilities and stronger support for local businesses. I will bring the same energy and practical approach to the wider community, turning promises into results people can see, feel and rely on.

About me

I will make a good elected representative because I combine experience, commitment and a results-focused approach. I have spent years working in the public sector with MSD and now leading Mangere Town Centre, delivering visible improvements for the community.

My priorities
  1. Focus on smart spending for the community with transparency and real results through funding for real impact.
  2. Initiate youth hub in Mangere Town Centre as a safe, fun space for learning, mentoring and play.
  3. Protect streets by cracking down on dumping and roaming dogs.
