I proudly serve Upper Harbour Local Board, and will continue working hard for our communities. Council needs courageous governance; a 100-year strategic approach to our challenges: proactive planning, future-proof investment, resilient infrastructure, advocacy for diverse communities’ needs, and support for our youth, disability, arts, community, and environmental sector volunteers. I’ve lived all over Upper Harbour. Raised on Hobsonville Air Base and overseas, I live to serve: Finance career (7 years); Auckland Council Project Manager (5 years); Volunteer Scout leader (9+ years); Local Social Entrepreneur delivering employment, energy efficiency, and healthier housing (10+ years). I have professional qualifications and a Business Degree (Natural Resource and Environmental Economics) from Massey University (Albany). Working with Living Upper Harbour and other Local Board Members, I help our communities prepare for emergencies, waste less, plan better, and play more. Let’s have the hard conversations and collaborate to deliver meaningful results for Climate, Community and Council.
