Why I'm standing

I believe you deserve a community that is safe, well-planned and thriving. I want a place where families can live, work and play with confidence. I care deeply about the future of Cashmere, including keeping streets safer, protecting green spaces and making sure growth is managed wisely and your voice is heard on the issues that matter most. I want a community board that keeps laser focused on enhancing what makes Christchurch great and keeping rates under control.

About me

I am head of cancer services at the Cancer Society and an active community volunteer with the likes of St John. I am used to listening, advocating and working constructively to get things done. I was a former Selwyn District Councillor and board member on several not-for-profits. I am experienced and ready to represent you from day one.
