Why I'm standing
I am running because I care about Riccarton and believe our community deserves strong, independent representation. I have experienced how important it is to listen, communicate and follow through from my time on the Community Board. I want to keep residents informed, make it easy for people to have their say and ensure decisions reflect genuine local input. I am committed to being approachable, responsive and focused on what matters most to the people who call Riccarton home.
About me
I live in Riccarton and am actively involved in our community. I run my own business in IT and employment relations, and I chair Neighbourhood Support Christchurch, helping to build safer, more connected neighbourhoods. I have learned to listen, communicate clearly and work constructively with people from all walks of life. I am independent, approachable and committed to ensuring local voices are heard, turning ideas into action and following through on commitments.
My priorities
- Fix Riccarton Road traffic by pushing for smarter, safer roading decisions near Westfield.
- Launch a community email newsletter to keep residents informed and engaged.
- Support more trees and green spaces to improve Riccarton's environment.
