Other News and Biography Details

In my opinion a good Councillor is made up of the A,B,C’s

A.  Actively involved in our community for years, and I know the importance of hearing from many different voices before making decisions. My goal is always to find solutions that benefit the greatest number of people not just a few.

This role deserves time, commitment, and sacrifice. I bring the energy, dedication, and heart needed to represent you well and to keep our community moving forward. 

In the past year I attended (often helping) 1152 meetings and events, supporting our community.

B.  Business knowledge is vital at the Council table. Decisions affect jobs, growth, and investment, it’s essential to understand how businesses work. Strong business connections also bring opportunities and innovation that benefit the whole community.

With my business experience and networks, I can help ensure smart spending, support local jobs, and keep our economy thriving. I have owned & managed multiple businesses, exporting to 15 different countries. I have created local website directories and Facebook pages to help deliver customers to hundreds of local businesses.

C.  Connecting with our many communities, listening to their voices and truly understanding their needs is so important. When communities come first, decisions are fairer, smarter, and create real benefits for the greatest number of people. My commitment is to ensure Council decisions are guided by the people we serve, not by politics or personal agendas. I am Chair for North Canterbury Neighbourhood Support, Volunteered for both St John and Fire Brigade, a Trustee for Kaiapoi Food Forest, I design and build community food forests to help the growing issue of food insecurity.
