Why I'm standing
I know that we can do better as a community. I aim to inspire another way of thinking where innovation is driven by historic context and lessons, to improve livelihoods for all sectors of the community.
About me
I have a diverse professional background that provides me with perspectives that align with various sectors of our community. Balance is what I bring at a time when it's needed.
My priorities
- Ensure access to wild and grown kai—sustain land, water and resilient communities.
- Ensure clean, safe water for all—fair standards, accountability and healthy rivers, lakes and coasts.
- Protect native species by cutting pests, restoring balance and backing community-led action.
