My principal place of residence is in the Hutt City Council area.
Kia ora koutou katoa, I am currently a Hutt City Councillor. Throughout my career I have held senior governance and leadership positions, including being Principal of Taita College for seven years.
Serving my community has always been a driver for me. With my inclusive leadership approach, I will progress the changes needed for our success. I am known for acting with integrity, consulting widely, listening and getting things done.
What I offer is big picture leadership that actively considers the future, when planning and aligning our actions. I have considerable life experience, business acumen and a proven record of delivery, (see my website).
What is important; Social Cohesion: connecting people, putting people first. Businesses: fostering strong local productivity, meaningful employment. Creating a Collaborative Strategic Vision: where diverse voices are heard. Lower Hutt deserves the best.
As your Mayor, I will have the authority to make things happen!
