    Candidate Statement

    My principal place of residence is not in the Welcome Bay General Ward area.

    Living in Poike, raised in Maungatapu-Welcome Bay, I want my daughters to grow up in this community where everyone feels they belong and have something to contribute. I'm committed to listening to ideas and concerns of residents and will be an approachable and accessible representative. Nominated by local leaders, my journey from mischievous kid to head boy at TBC and now community advocate, reflects my deep connection to our neighborhoods.

    With a diverse background from corporate banking to health, and leading collaboration between scientists with communities, I will focus on environmental health, road safety, accessibility, ensuring our infrastructure is fit for purpose. My goal is to make rates and housing affordable for all.

    I'm dedicated to being a voice for our community, advocating for competent, collaborative leadership.

    Let's work together to build a brighter future for Tauranga.
