Originally an Aucklander who has spent a third of my life travelling the world, I am now 8 years a proud westie based in Waitakere Township. A successful IT professional, a leader, a local, and someone who resonates with people that enjoy a thriving community, good local nightlife, dining and entertainment. Every day I see why 'west is best', but struggle with the fact we must travel outside the area for any of these experiences.
I am someone who strongly believes that healthy competition, greater transparency, increasing community funding from profits, and ensuring the Trust's success is independent of a monopoly is something we can all achieve, resulting in a better and more profitable West Auckland for everyone.
As part of the Trusts Action Group, I advocate for change, fairer prices, more choice, fewer pokies, and greater transparency into the Trusts and where our profits go.
