As a long-time dedicated Rodney resident, I am committed to serving our rural community. I am a local volunteer firefighter of 8 years, am on the board of Helensville Tennis Club, and founded and chair EveryKid Charitable Trust ManatÅpu, a charity helping underprivileged youth into sport. I prioritize improving infrastructure and maintenance to ensure safer roads. My collaborative approach fosters community initiatives, supporting local projects that enhance and improve the lives of the families and children in our community. Living rurally, I understand the issues we face and advocate for equitable funding to address underinvestment in our region.
