Our communities in Upper Harbour are great, but unfortunately, often incredibly disconnected and under-supported. I'm dedicated to planning for the future, building a resilient economy, championing reliable transport solutions, and ultimately a safe, well-connected and well-resourced region. Representing and supporting local groups, cultures and communities is key to me. I will advocate for all community groups, ensuring the growth of culture and wellbeing. I'm a fresh perspective, I'm eager to serve you.
My extensive experience in chairing community groups means that I care about the community deeply. I know where the community feels strained, and I understand how to best tackle these issues. I have a background in economics, law and public work, and I provide a fresh voice. Finally, as a student, I have time. I'm able to go, meet communities, listen to your issues, and then spend time consulting to find the most effective solution.
