Why I'm standing
I see lots of opportunities for Auckland to mature into a thriving city with a strong economy, well-connected transport and vibrant communities, but we need a vision for where we’re heading and energy to get there. I live in central Auckland and care about improving the lives and experiences of residents through better decision-making. I want to bring my expertise in research, analysis and technology to be a voice for the future of our city.
About me
I listen, I solve problems, and I get things done. I’m skilled in digital technologies and know these can help our government and our city better respond to challenges and opportunities. My roles in education have given me experience working with people across different ages, backgrounds and perspectives. I live in a central Auckland apartment and serve on the body corporate committee, so I know the importance of managing infrastructure well and balancing competing interests.
My priorities
- Support businesses and council with digital technology to improve services and encourage innovation.
- Prioritise high-quality, affordable and secure housing so people can enjoy healthy, stable homes.
- Engage in strategic, research-informed decision-making so we are prepared for the future.
