Kia ora,
I seek your Portage Licensing Trust vote, to grow support for the community-groups and schools that champion our area.
My young family has called Glen Eden home for 11 years. During this time, I've connected with many locals, taking action for the environment and each other.
I support lively, family-friendly venues and responsible retail; returning more profits to youth, social and environmental initiatives.
I have a proven track-record of leadership, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making. A researcher and educator (PhD Neuroscience, Auckland Uni), I now advocate for local charities: BirdCare Aotearoa and West Auckland Community Toy Library. I serve on the Kate Edger Foundation governing board, a social enterprise empowering women to pursue higher education.
Glen Eden needs an energetic voice. With Future West, I will advocate for thoughtful solutions and phasing-out pokies, to minimise harm while strengthening community-led actions. Together, let's nurture a safe and thriving Glen Eden.
