Why I'm standing
As a wheelchair user, I know firsthand the barriers disabled people face in Dunedin — from inaccessible infrastructure to voices being left out of decision-making. That's why I'm running for council: to ensure lived experience shapes real solutions. I want to build a city where everyone can participate fully, where transparency and accountability guide decisions, and where our most vulnerable are no longer an afterthought. Together, we can create a fairer, more inclusive Dunedin.
About me
I bring both lived experience and a proven record of community service. As a wheelchair user, advocate, volunteer, and parent, I understand the challenges many in Dunedin face. My PhD shows I have the perseverance and work ethic to tackle complex issues, while my grassroots involvement keeps me connected to real needs. I am committed to accessibility, accountability, and fairness — ensuring every voice in our community is heard.
My priorities
- Push for accessibility, inclusive facilities, safe infrastructure and access to information.
- Deliver a fair rubbish system that rewards waste reduction and supports larger households.
- Fix our neglected water system by clearing the backlog and ensuring safe, reliable water.
