My principal place of residence is in the Central Ward area. I am also standing for Central Ward of the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

I've called Christchurch home for the past 18 years, and for the last five, I’ve been living and working in the heart of the city. During my time here, I have been impressed by the city’s remarkable transformation and growth.

I’d love to play a part in helping Christchurch continue to move forward through its long-term planning. I’m especially interested in supporting projects that improve community wellbeing and make our infrastructure work better for everyone. In particular, I think bringing back the central city shuttle would make a real difference, and I’d be keen to see more focus on using existing rail lines for passenger services between Lyttelton, Rolleston, Rangiora, and Kaiapoi to the city centre. These kinds of initiatives could go a long way toward easing congestion, making city access better for everyone.
