I am a NZ-trained medical doctor and currently work as a GP in Nawton, Hamilton. I have previously worked in policy, public health, consulting and management in NZ, Switzerland, Spain, Nepal, Mongolia, USA and Vietnam. While I love making one-to-one difference in the lives of my patients as a GP, through my broad range of experiences above I have realised that politics has the potential to make an even larger positive impact in the society and this is why I am running to make a bigger difference.

I work as a GP in Nawton and live in Frankton. I studied medicine at the Auckland Medical School and did part of my training in Waikato-Bay of Plenty region. As the local doctor, I have had the opportunity to hear first-hand, the concerns of many in our community during these difficult times. I also have a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and have served in management roles in many organisations. I will bring a robust background in health and management to the post-pandemic recovery phase.

I believe New Zealand is the greatest and safest nation in the world to live. I would often comment on how good it is living in a country that is at peace with our neighbours the Aussies and all our Pacific Island friends and family. NZ can still boast of its clean green image. fresh clean water on tap, excellent lamb, beef, pork, and wild game. I believe NZ is now a diverse and multicultural nation and it still has a lot to offer that is why I am standing to keep our image for our future generations.

I was born in the Waikato my tribe Ngati Haua are the original people of the land What. I bring to the table is an understanding how indigenous peoples values and customs are similar to Māori I also bring a Māori perspective of the treaty. I have leadership skills and customer service skills. l especially love helping people to get the right answer to their question or to the right place. I am a professional in the workplace and understand the value that unity brings when working as a team.
