Candidate for Auckland Council, Howick Ward
I’m standing to change how our city is run. Locals are frustrated with lack of vision, progress and accountability. Not enough is being done to address transport, climate change, wasteful spending and poor communication. We face challenges with intensification, population growth, and an uncertain economy.
Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland deserves a more ambitious, disciplined, and diverse council. We need representatives who understand their communities, investing time to listen and respond to residents. It’s time for change.
With nearly 20 years of business improvement experience, I’ve worked in large organisations eliminating waste, improving delivery, and cutting bureaucracy. I’m a member of NZ Institute of Directors, with community, commercial, and council experience, recently as Chairperson of Howick Local Board.
I’ll drive financial discipline and accountability; improve local responsiveness; deliver more value; continue to be highly visible, results driven, and truly independent while working for every resident of East Auckland.
Candidate for Howick Local Board
I'm standing to serve my community. I love living in Botany at the heart of East Auckland. With nearly 20 years of business improvement experience, I’ve worked in large, complex organisations eliminating waste, improving delivery and cutting through bureaucracy. I’m a member of NZ Institute of Directors, with community, commercial, and council experience.
I've worked hard as the Chairperson of the Local Board, providing leadership through significant challenges leading to rewarding successes. We’ve progressed the Flat Bush Library and Community Centre; delivered Te Taiwhanga Taiohi Youth Space; improved transparency by opening our workshops; supported Eastern Busway while opposing Burswood diversion.
But there’s more to do: improving communication and transparency; upgrading facilities to ensure they’re fit for purpose; creating safer streets especially around schools; responding to population growth. I'll continue to be a strong advocate for our community, working collaboratively with other representatives to deliver for Botany.
