Why I'm standing

I believe in giving back more to the community. I want Wainuiomata community to feel they have a board that is engaged with the community in many different ways. I want to do it for my children who are the future of our city.

About me

I have lots of experience on committees of all different types including some national ones too. I know how to speak up and I know when I need more knowledge to make a decision. I am not afraid to make tough choices if needed.

My priorities
  1. Make more inclusive community for all and ensure everyone feels they belong and has a voice.
  2. Make the board more engaged with the community.
  3. Make Wainuiomata people feel that the board is something they want to come and connect with.
