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