Why I'm standing
I'm running for the Whau Local Board because this is my home — I grew up here, live here, and I want to give back. Everyone and everything I love is here. I care about protecting our environment, creating opportunities for rangatahi, and building strong, connected communities where everyone's voice is heard. I want Whau to be a place we're proud of and excited to call our forever home.
About me
I will make a good elected representative because I am deeply connected to Whau. I bring leadership experience from youth, community and union organisations, and I know how to listen, advocate and get things done. I am committed to putting people first, giving rangatahi a voice, and building strong, inclusive communities that thrive. Currently there is no youth representation on the local board where almost 30% of residents are under the age of 30.
My priorities
- Put people first by empowering communities, especially rangatahi and ethnic minorities and renters.
- Protect Whau's environment, green spaces, waterways and biodiversity. Save the Avondale Racecourse.
- Create opportunities and a youth advisory voice for rangatahi where they can inform local policy.
