Independent

Principal place of residence:

My principal place of residence is in the Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai/Lower Hutt General Constituency area.

Innovating programs to inspire is my passion, using decades of leadership in board and executive roles in entrepreneurial action-oriented settings, balancing longterm strategic planning and practical smart spending today with our distinctive Kiwi let’s get things done now approach. Go Fast&Fix Things is my mantra. Our Aotearoa cultures are a strength and great taonga/treasure. I’ve been honoured to lead multi-cultural teams making award winning films and apps for social impact.

My experience at originating complex environmentally beneficial infrastructure programs is built upon my Mathematics and Masters/Environmental Management degrees. My Royal NZ Navy officer training enables me to make hard problem-solving decisions under high pressure. My volunteer work has brought me great joy, springing from my soccer coaching and World Cup committee experience. I grew up in Wainui and after working overseas, I came back home to Eastbourne. I would love to put my passions and experience to work for you.
