Why I'm standing

Wellington already offers so much, and I want to contribute my leadership skills—honed through policing and public service—to help guide its growth and future success.

About me

After 25 years living and raising a family in Wellington, I bring leadership experience from New Zealand and UK Police, as well as senior roles across the public service. This breadth of experience gives me a unique perspective and the ability to deliver real results for the community through strong partnerships and collaboration.

My priorities
  1. Drive a vision of Tawa, highlighting it as a connected, safe and thriving community.
  2. Lead the renewal of Linden shops, tackling abandoned buildings which signal urban decline.
  3. Work in partnership with the business community to support their success and safety.
