Why I'm standing
I am standing to ensure our community is safe, vibrant and affordable, with strong advocacy for the things that matter most to residents. I have a deep understanding of council processes and a track record of delivering meaningful outcomes. I bring a business lens with a people focus that puts you and our city's future at the heart of decision making. My commitment to our community is as strong as ever.
About me
I bring 15 years' experience as a city councillor, with deep local knowledge and a proven track record of delivering practical, people-focused results. I stepped back from council to focus on business, governance and family, and I have the energy and drive to contribute through our community board. It has been my privilege and pleasure to represent you, and I would value your support once again.
My priorities
- Support capping unsustainable rates rises to keep living costs fair.
- Ensure council focuses on delivering core services well.
- Protect the character and amenity value of local neighbourhoods.
