Kia ora, I have resided in Glenfield for 14 years. I have a Bachelor of Health Science and have held various committee, volunteer and governance roles for 17 years. I am empathetic, attentive and visionary. I believe in empowering community by: Addressing unsustainable living costs; Supporting mental health respite care; Changing the T3 lane to T2 for Onewa Road; Strengthening our civil defence strategy; Advocating for ratepayers to receive value for money; Promoting proper consultation on road changes; Prioritising budgets for core services: roads, rubbish, water, and parks; Ensuring tangible improvements over excessive consultation fees; Committing to transport planning that respects freedom of movement and supports local businesses; Standing for transparency in water management and flood planning; Opposing Smart City initiatives that risk privacy and freedom through excessive surveillance. It's in my nature to question, scrutinise, and spotlight the 'elephant in the room.' I'll be your voice at the table.
