Why I'm standing
I am deeply motivated to run for the local board due to the threats posed by climate change and rising social inequity. My vision is for a thriving, inclusive Puketāpapa and wider Auckland region, built on safe and sustainable neighbourhoods that enable equal opportunities through affordable housing and a supported community. I aim to foster infrastructure that allows people to live with ease and well-being, and to ensure our environment is protected for future generations.
About me
I am a new mother and architect specialising in environmental and social impact. I am knowledgeable about community engagement, planning mixed-use developments, and designing great public spaces. As a company owner, I bring a practical, results-oriented approach, ensuring that solutions are not only well-conceived but achievable. Employing these unique skills and my firsthand understanding of our community's needs, I will effectively shape a thriving future for Puketāpapa that works for you and all of us.
My priorities
- Develop sustainable neighbourhoods focusing on transport, infrastructure and housing.
- Foster resilient communities, enabling fair access to resources, facilities and support.
- Create safe, accessible, well-designed public spaces for increasing density and everyone's well-being.
