    Candidate Statement

    My principal place of residence is in the Matua-Otūmoetai General Ward area.

    As an independent candidate for the Otūmoetai i and Matua ward, I bring a diverse background. I was born and grew up in Whanganui, lived in Australia for a few years and returned to Whanganui and worked in my family's building business. I then moved to Auckland to study law. For 17 years, Matua has been our home. I've served on the governance boards of Bellevue Primary School and Otūmoetai College during our children's schooling.

    With a BA in Psychology and an Honours degree in Law, I've practiced as a commercial lawyer for three decades. Additionally, I've successfully managed businesses and served as a director for multiple companies, mastering financial management.

    My council priorities are clear: reduce wasteful spending, enhance competence, and prioritise community interests. Let's do what our ratepayers want for our community. I'm passionate about Matua and Otūmoetai area and am eager to represent its residents on the Council.
