Why I'm standing

I love where we live and am so thankful for the privilege that I would like to give back through public service—I also have a young family and so I'm heavily motivated to get involved and help out wherever I can to make our area an even better place to live and raise a family.

About me

Thanks to my work, I get to see inside of so many businesses and companies in the public and private sectors—so I have a bit of insight into what makes them thrive and will bring what I've learned from them into the role. I also believe our public institutions need help to become better storytellers and marketers, building shared vision and understanding to drive stronger engagement and deliver growth with meaning.

My priorities
  1. Advocate for policies that help Rodney's businesses grow, connect and create local jobs.
  2. Support families and businesses to prepare to thrive in spite of any flooding challenges.
  3. Promote stronger roads, transport, stormwater and digital connectivity.
