Why I'm standing

I love this community and want to give back. I moved back from a big city six years ago and want to ensure that growth is managed well to keep it a fantastic place to raise a family.

About me

I manage a local, multi-site business with over 100 local employees. I am connected to our people and our youth and will always listen and work proactively. I have been on a local residents group committee for three years and have delivered value in my role for the community.

My priorities
  1. Upskill myself on the role and actual influence a community board has to be able to add value.
  2. Listen and work collaboratively to ensure the community board is a force for positive change.
  3. Ensure local concerns are captured and considered as part of planning and action.
