Why I'm standing

Papakura has been my home for 16 years, where I've raised my family and been actively involved in community sport and outdoor education. I want to ensure Papakura has a strong voice that is truly heard, and that it remains a place where people feel supported and proud to call home.

About me

As a parent involved with my daughter's swimming club and school PTA, I know how important it is to roll up my sleeves and get involved with our children and community. I'm approachable, focused, and care about what matters to local families. I bring this energy, passion, and community collaboration to the Local Board.

My priorities
  1. Build a more engaged board that listens and responds so community groups aren't left behind.
  2. Finish Ōpaheke Park and upgrade play spaces to give families safe, quality recreational areas.
  3. Fix footpaths, clear drains and support weekly rubbish collections to create healthy neighbourhoods.
