My partner and I have lived and raised our children in Beachlands for 21 years. I have a commercial/communication background and a passion for community. I come with a desire to learn about local government, the wider community of Franklin, to support and where needed question. I have been attending online and in person Franklin Board meetings in recent months to get a head start on the process, I am excited to be included in Team Franklin and believe I can add value to an already experienced group. Our community is growing fast, and change is inevitable. Each of us if asked, would have a different set of priorities, my hope would be to future-proof our community by providing adequate spaces to enable us to be a thriving and functional place to live, work and grow.
