Why I'm standing
I am standing because I want to protect this environment that sustains us all. I believe climate change isn't something far away, it is here and urgent. I want to reduce the impacts on our community and to manage them when they happen in future. I acknowledge the former Waitākere City Council has ensured that we have great bones to build from, and I am committed to helping create neighbourhoods for our families that are safer, more equitable and genuinely sustainable.
About me
I am a westie with two terms as a local board member and know how council and governance works. I have a 100% attendance rate and a track record of doing the mahi. I have degrees in both business and anthropology and am a certified project manager. Over my career, I have worked across housing, transport, education and conservation. I have self-built a low-energy ecohome with my husband and am really passionate about people and community.
My priorities
- Protect people and nature with meaningful climate action and preparedness.
- Fix congestion and lower emissions, getting the city moving smarter, cheaper and healthier.
- Secure funding to empower communities to lead in the areas they know best.
