I enjoy spending time across Ōrākei with my young family and am excited by the prospect of being a strong advocate for the community with a focus on getting the basics right. My background is in education and governance, most recently as Head of School for an MBA programme. This experience has shown me how local decisions affect daily life and why clear priorities matter. As a parent and professional, I want to see reliable transport, safer streets, and well-kept public spaces that people actually use and value. I believe that council should respect ratepayers, spend wisely, and stick to core services. I will bring energy, integrity, and a strong commitment to serving the community while supporting personal responsibility, individual freedom, and practical solutions. As part of the ACT Local team, I am standing to deliver real change for Ōrākei and would be very grateful for your support.
