Why I'm standing

I love living in Tawa and have chosen to live and raise my family here. We have a powerhouse of skills and people in our suburb. I'm keen to make sure we keep building our community for the needs of everyone and for the needs of the future.

About me

I am a resident of Tawa for 12 years. I'm raising my family here and we have close connections to the community. I have a professional background in environment, sustainability and climate adaptation and am an environmental scientist by background. I also have some governance experience. I'm keen to use my skills and insight to make sure that our community is thinking ahead and preparing for the future.

My priorities
  1. Keep the community engaged and involved in decisions that affect our suburb.
  2. Increase awareness around climate change and explore how we can and want to adapt.
  3. Make sure that Tawa maintains its position as a great community to live in and be part of.
