Why I'm standing

Born and raised in South Auckland, I'm proud of our community, but I know things can be better. I'm standing again to ensure local voices are heard, to protect the spaces and services our families depend on, and to make sure the decisions we take today are in the best interests of both current and future generations.

About me

Born and raised in South Auckland, I bring both local and professional knowledge. My professional background is in civil and environmental engineering. I specialise in infrastructure asset management as a stormwater engineer on Auckland's motorways. As deputy chair of the Ōtara-Papatoetoe local board, I have proven governance experience. I understand how local government works and can hit the ground running to continue delivering for our community.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for more resources to improve safety in Papatoetoe for families and businesses.
  2. Protect green spaces as housing intensification puts pressure on local roads and infrastructure.
  3. Strengthen youth pathways into education, training and work to support the young population.
