Councillor – Paekākāriki/Raumati Ward
“Kāpiti is at a turning point. We face challenges and opportunities. Now more than ever, we need collaborative, values-led leadership that strengthens our community.
“My family proudly call Kāpiti home. I love the lifestyle – shopping at the farmers’ market, surfing, supporting kapa haka and participating in the arts. I’m passionate about small businesses, family wellbeing, and a connected, inclusive community.
“I’m grateful for Te Tiriti o Waitangi. I see the deep benefits it brings when we uphold it and work in true partnership with mana whenua – caring for our whenua, water, and the generations to come.
“Professionally, I bring experience working with Government – across science, health, and the arts – including GNS Science and the NZ Film Commission, with a passion for inclusion and equity.
“It’s crucial we build affordable housing, improve local services, and lead with integrity. We can do this while being fiscally responsible and focused on long-term wellbeing.”
