Franklin deserves leaders who listen, lead with integrity, and deliver real results. People across our community want safer streets, smarter transport, and homes supported by the right infrastructure and green space. They expect council to be transparent, responsible, and make every dollar count. I'm standing to help make that happen. I live in Karaka with my young family and care deeply about the people who call Franklin home. With a background in finance and leadership roles across health, utilities and community sectors, I bring strong governance and a practical understanding of how to get things done. As Deputy CEO of a national charity, I know how to deliver impact while managing resources wisely. My priorities: Infrastructure that supports a thriving, growing population; Access to quality public services, delivered locally; Real value for ratepayers through efficient, effective services.
