Why I'm standing

I'm passionate about connecting people and I want to represent and advocate for the many voices that make up our vibrant community. This is also a meaningful way to give back to Aotearoa, a country that has shown me so much kindness.

About me

I connect with people by truly listening and asking, "What would I do if it were me?" As a community board member, I'm committed to collaboration, clear communication and working toward shared goals with our diverse community. I believe in transparency and keeping residents informed about all issues. Ensuring that local activities and decision-making are clear, accessible and inclusive is essential to building trust and strong community relationships.

My priorities

  1. Maintain and renew parks, libraries, sports grounds and waste services to meet community needs.
  2. Improve footpaths and roads by fixing potholes to boost safety and accessibility for all residents.
  3. Foster inclusive leadership to ensure the community feels heard, supported and involved in decisions.
