Why I'm standing

Palmerston North needs better leadership. I believe I have the skills and experience to make a difference. The time has come to step up. It's my home town and it's time for some positive energy and fresh ideas on your council.

About me

I come from a single parent family in Milson and have been fortunate to have travelled widely. With a background in small business, travel and tourism. I'm an independent thinker and will use common sense and wisdom in my decisions on behalf of all the community.

My priorities
  1. Respect ratepayers by addressing current unsustainable rates rises. Get council assets working harder.
  2. Start the conversation to get the return of international flights to Palmerston North Airport.
  3. Work proactively across the council to ensure well informed debate and decision making.
