Why I'm standing

I have just built a house here near the Cashmere Hills and want to get actively involved in this great community.

About me

I was raised here in Christchurch and received all my tertiary education through the University of Canterbury and later the New Zealand Broadcasting School. After working in Wellington in media and advocacy roles at our parliament, I consider I have the skills to sit on a community board and advocate for the good people of Halswell.

My priorities
  1. Push for a chlorine-free drinking fountain.
  2. Advocate for better bus services for residents of the new subdivisions.
  3. Push for more trees in new subdivisions to keep Halswell shady and cool.
