Why I'm standing

I believe I can provide non-political and different leadership that is diverse, mature and professional to our Papakura board.

About me

I believe that a can do attitude and a strong will can get anything done. I have a background in finance, corporate management and accounting that can be useful to our community.

My priorities

Get Papakura youth to be net contributors to the community through training and skills.
Get senior citizens to mentor and provide guidance to businesses and encourage start-ups.
Get more local public transport around Papakura and surrounds to reduce the commute to work.
