With two terms of experience on the local board, I bring proven governance knowledge and a deep understanding of how Council works. I’ve spent years actively involved in grassroots community and youth development initiatives across our ward and remain committed to advocating for real change led by the voices of our people. As a long-time Manukau resident and business owner, I understand the day-to-day challenges our communities and local enterprises face. I’m standing for Manukau Ward because I believe in strong local leadership, equity, and practical solutions to the issues that matter most - safer communities, thriving youth, better housing, and fair opportunities for all. I bring experience, integrity, and a genuine heart for service. It’s time for fresh leadership - bringing innovation, energy, and a modern approach to Council.
