Why I'm standing

Manurewa is my community, where I've volunteered for over 10 years and served families through Playcentre, schools and Funfest. I believe it's time for change—fresh ideas to support young people, safer walkways and cleaner neighbourhoods. I want to ensure weekly rubbish collections, better facilities and fair opportunities so every whānau can thrive.

About me

I bring proven community service, leadership and practical management experience. From running budgets in hospitality to supporting whānau through mental health and addiction services, I know how to listen, lead and deliver results. As a trustee, volunteer and service manager, I've shown I care deeply for Manurewa. I'll bring dedication, accountability and new energy to represent our diverse community.

My priorities
  1. Fix footpaths, clear drains and support weekly rubbish collections to create healthy neighbourhoods.
  2. Continue Puhinui Stream work walkway linking The Gardens and Hillpark to Wirihana and Manukau.
  3. Maintain existing assets to prevent losses like Tadmor Hall and ensure long-term community use.
