I am young. I know that our young people are leaving Waitematā because they don’t see a future here. I want to change that. I will help create a Waitematā where people want to live, work, and stay. I know firsthand what it’s like to be a student, renter, and worker navigating this city. With a Bachelor’s degree in Politics, International Relations, and Communications from the University of Auckland, and through my work at Auckland City Mission, I’ve seen challenges from housing to transport, but there are opportunities for real, people-led change. I’m committed to upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and making sure every voice is heard in local decision-making. If elected, I’ll prioritise vibrancy in the city centre and suburbs, better public transport, and strong advocacy on homelessness, so we can build a Waitematā where everyone thrives. Vote for me and the energetic City Vision team.
