Why I'm standing
I am running for election because I love Rotorua and want to help our community thrive. I am concerned that without strong leadership, important issues like environmental protection, housing and economic opportunities may not get the focus they need. I want to work collaboratively with residents and iwi to ensure Rotorua remains a vibrant, resilient and inclusive place for everyone.
About me
I will make a good elected representative because I listen carefully, communicate openly and am committed to serving all members of our community. I have experience working in strategic leadership and cross-agency spaces so I understand the challenges we face and how to find practical solutions. I value collaboration and respect diverse perspectives, especially the voices of tangata whenua and local residents. I am dedicated to transparency, accountability and working hard to make Rotorua beautiful again.
My priorities
- Strengthen community–council partnerships.
- Manage public assets wisely.
- Improve accessibility and equity.
