Why I'm standing

I want to work hard for my community and deliver on the issues that matter. People deserve the chance to get ahead and I'll work relentlessly to make that a reality.

About me

I'm a Westie and proud of the community out West where I live and serve, including Pasifika women and my local church and sports club. I bring my expertise as a trained lawyer and experience in youth development and small business. My first role at parliament I gained as an electorate staff member to former Cabinet Minister, Deputy Leader of the National Party and MP for Auckland Central.

My priorities
  1. Rebuild the economy so people in Te Atatū can get ahead.
  2. Restore law and order so people here can feel safer on our streets, at home and at work.
  3. Advocate for local issues like our ongoing flood recovery.
