Why I'm standing
I am running for council because I care deeply about Nelson's future and believe we need strong, experienced leadership to navigate the challenges ahead. I want to ensure our city remains a vibrant, resilient and welcoming place for everyone. I have worked in leadership roles here and overseas and know how to deliver results, build consensus and get things done for our community.
About me
I bring over 20 years of leadership experience in both the private and public sectors, with a proven record of delivering complex projects on time and within budget. I am committed to transparency, collaboration and listening to the community. I have worked closely with diverse groups and know how to bring people together to achieve shared goals. Nelson is my home, and I am dedicated to representing its people with integrity and energy.
My priorities
- Focus rates on essentials like water, infrastructure and core services, not nice-to-haves.
- Revitalise the city, waterfront and marina while growing Nelson's sustainable Blue Economy.
- Be responsible kaitiaki by protecting the environment and building climate resilience for the future.
