I have been a Kaipātiki resident for over 35 years, raised five children here and my grandchildren are now growing up in our area.
Over the years I have gained a knowledge and understanding of our community, not only as a parent and local business owner, but as a volunteer of our many community groups, clubs, and associations. Throughout the years of raising my children and volunteering, one of the many roles I was active in was fundraising. This was not just for clubs and organisations but also for individuals and or families. Along with my adult children and grandchildren, I am still active in the community, and overall have a good perspective of our communities needs.
As part of the Birkenhead licensing trust, I ensure I will bring empathy, fairness and good judgment.
