Why I'm standing
I've been fortunate to serve our community for over nine years - six as a Wellington City Councillor and three as Chair of the Tawa Community Board. I love living in Tawa and want to help keep it a great place for everyone. With experience in council and a strong connection to our community, I hope to continue representing Tawa and supporting what helps us all thrive.
About me
Tawa is a vibrant, connected community, and I'm standing again to help strengthen and support it. I've lived here over 20 years, raised my family, and been actively involved as a teacher, volunteer, Tawa Community Board chair, councillor and deputy mayor. I bring deep local knowledge, extensive governance experience and a genuine care for our community. I will listen, represent your voice and work hard to ensure Tawa continues to thrive.
My priorities
- Support events, parks and safe streets to keep a strong, connected and safe community in Tawa.
- Protect Tawa's nature and waterways and improve local waste systems to maintain a healthy environment and waterways.
- Use experience to make sure Tawa's voice is heard on key issues through effective advocacy and representation.
