| Palmerston North City Councillor
I'm standing for re-election because our city is facing major changes—costs rising, climate impacts growing, and government reform reshaping local decision-making. In times like this we need big-picture thinkers with a plan, so we're not just reacting but building resilience. I want to protect what we've got, strengthen the basics like water, transport and local economy, and make sure council decisions are evidence-based, proactive, and grounded in the long-term good of our community.
Open-minded and practical, I do my homework, ask hard questions, and keep council focused on what matters. From stormwater upgrades to cutting red tape for communities, I push for stability in uncertain times. With experience as an analyst, legal secretary, and community administrator, I bring both rigour and a collaborative attitude. I believe in resilient infrastructure, climate action, careful spending, and decisions grounded in fairness—always listening, questioning, and working to strengthen our city for everyone.
