Why I'm standing
I am running because I love Waitakere's unique spirit – its vibrant communities and stunning natural beauty. I see untapped potential. I believe locals often feel unheard by decision-makers. I bring experience as a parent, business owner or community volunteer and have seen how practical solutions and genuine engagement can transform lives. I want to bridge the gap between residents and the council, ensuring everyone has a voice in shaping our future. I want to build a Waitakere that works for all.
About me
I have experience as an active community advocate and deep roots in Waitakere. I bring practical skills and genuine community connection. I listen first, act decisively and believe in transparent leadership. Whether advocating for key issues or uniting diverse voices, I put people before politics. My commitment is to work tirelessly, stay accessible and ensure every decision reflects our shared values. Together, we can turn challenges into progress.
My priorities
- Save Waitakere's forests and streams by halting destructive development now.
- Fast-track stormwater upgrades to protect homes and roads affected by flooding.
- Provide free trades training for youth to develop local skills, create local jobs and build a strong future.
