Manurewa Local Board

Why I'm standing

I wish to use my proven leadership in governance, business and advocacy to serve our community at the council table. My experience complements the strengths of the #LoveManurewa team. We bring a diverse and united set of skills that form a powerful force for positive change. Together, we're committed to safer streets, community focused policies and a thriving Manurewa. I'm passionate about building a future that reflects our community's values and needs.

About me

With a strong track record in council governance, I bring proven leadership from running a successful IT consultancy and serving on company boards. My long-term involvement in volunteer charitable organisations reflects deep community commitment. I've actively lobbied for increased police presence, responsible alcohol policies and community safety initiatives. This diverse experience blends strategic business insight with a passion for public service and creating safer, more resilient communities.

My priorities

1. Secure regional and council funding to deliver better outcomes for Manurewa and local projects.
2. Fix footpaths, clear drains and support weekly rubbish collections to create healthy neighbourhoods.
3. Maintain existing assets to prevent losses like Tadmor Hall and ensure long-term community use.
