Why I'm standing

I have been a part of this wonderful area for 10 years, as a small business owner and active community member. I have deep, lasting roots in Waitematā. I am running to expand my contribution to the community's energy while providing focused leadership and tangible results that benefit our neighbourhood.

About me

I bring transparent leadership, lived experience, and a commitment to action. Drawing from many years as a local small business owner and five years on the Ponsonby Business Association, including a chair on its Safety and Security subcommittee, I've worked hard to protect our community's wellbeing. I also bring seven years of experience with a respected national charity, five as president and trustee, delivering results through strong, focused leadership.

My priorities
  1. Stop wasteful spending.
  2. Support local businesses and residents.
  3. Focus on a safe community.
