Why I'm standing
I love Auckland. Waitematā is my home – a place where everyone belongs. I am running as an independent, fully representing our community and residents. I aim to deliver practical solutions for local issues – transport, housing and the environment – while ensuring residents' voices are heard. Waitematā needs fair representation, strong advocacy and a balance between growth and protecting community character.
About me
I will make a good elected representative because I am committed, approachable and focused on delivering practical results for our community. My professional experience in film production, real estate, project management and hotel development gives me insight into the challenges of growth and urban planning. I listen carefully, engage directly with residents and work collaboratively to find balanced solutions. As an independent candidate, I am fully accountable to the people of Waitematā.
My priorities
- Support high-density housing development while protecting historic and special buildings.
- Use Auckland Future Fund to upgrade infrastructure without pressure on ratepayers.
- Revive tourism through domestic and international arts, culture, sports and film projects.
