Puketāpapa is my home. My family has lived here for over 50 years, contributing through business and community service. I returned to Puketāpapa last year after ten years away because I wanted to give my daughter a great childhood, with beautiful local parks, an incredible coastline, and a vibrant and diverse community. I am running for the Local Board to make sure the Council hears and serves everyone in our community. I’ve worked in governance, strategy, planning, accountability and advocacy, so I can hit the ground running as a capable and hardworking local board member. Our community has endured significant challenges over the past few years, with major storms causing uncertainty and disruption in people’s lives. I will advocate for and deliver the community services and infrastructure we need to live well and thrive, whatever life throws at us. Vote City Vision for a team that will deliver!
