My principal place of residence is not in the Tauranga City Council area.
Tauranga has an exciting future, I want the city to fulfil its potential. My vision is that Tauranga is known as New Zealand's best small city. I want to promote a positive image of our city on the national stage as an exciting and vibrant place to live.
Our council must become a high performing team. I want to lead a Team of Ten approach, working towards creating a better city, with strong and accountable leadership.
I have proven experience in working hard to achieve success. I bring experience in accounting and financial management to the table, working as a Financial Advisor at Forsyth Barr Limited.
I am also an accountant.
I am determined to effectively manage the challenging financial situation that the TCC faces, due to rising interest rates and cost pressures. Ensuring value for money in investment of precious resources.
