Why I'm standing
I'm a Riccarton local with legal and governance experience, who's seen how hard it can be for residents and communities to be heard by decisionmakers. I'm running because I care about Riccarton, because this is where I experienced the earthquakes, and because I want to make sure that we can keep all the best parts of Riccarton far into the future.
About me
I'm currently finishing a law degree, I serve on the regional council's Youth Council, and I've been elected secretary of various organisations. I'm also a member of my local residents association and have recently joined its committee. I love connecting with people and hearing more about what drives them, and my multicultural experience is a huge advantage for this purpose. I hope to serve as an effective bridge for all our communities.
My priorities
- Push to be ready for Mass Rapid Transit and start on this as soon as funding is available to connect the city.
- Prepare for the next major disaster, whether it's an Alpine Fault quake or a weather event.
- Increase green space and tree cover as the population is growing and everybody needs these amenities.
