Why I'm standing

I am standing for council because I can see significant changes heading our way, changes that will need vital planning and processes in place, in order to achieve progress. I was always taught that if you want something done, you need to get up and do something about it. I believe I have what it takes to represent the Mercury Bay community in council.

About me

I am a long-time local to the Thames Coromandel District, a business owner, teacher, volunteer, coach, and an active community member. I believe living in the Mercury Bay is a privilege, one that needs to be nurtured, and future proofed for generations to come. I am honest, reliable, driven, determined and never too scared to get involved when there is a job to be done.

My priorities
  1. Gain a greater understanding of the current processes and plans in place and how they can be improved.
  2. To be be a vital voice for the Mercury Bay, to convey our needs, wants and concerns in good faith.
  3. Work towards an all year round swimming facility for the Mercury Bay Area.
