Born and raised on the island I have a deep love for this community and am committed to preserving our way of life and our unique and precious natural environment. Growing up and now living and working here has allowed me to connect with the many different people of our motu and has given me a good understanding of the things that matter most to them. My priorities if elected would be to champion and further the environmental work happening across the island, facilitating the amazing volunteerism our community relies on, and to make living, working, and raising a family here more affordable and as accessible as possible. I believe our motu can set a global benchmark for sustainable, resilient, off-grid island living and hope to facilitate the people that are helping us move in this direction.
