Why I'm standing
I would like to make a difference, and provide an example for some of the younger generation to step forward and be seen, to make change.
About me
I have spent most of my life in and around Taihape, been a part of the local Kohanga Reo and local schools in one capacity or another. Supported from an administrational space in local organisations, made mistakes and learned a lot, and now is a good time to start encouraging the next generation to come through and show their pride and commitment to a cause.
My priorities
- Encourage economic growth in Taihape.
- Support youth to step forward and use their voices to become leaders for their demographic.
- Show that we are not defined by colour, culture or gender, but by the character we show every day, audience or not.
