2025 local elections - candidate profile

Candidate statement

Independent

My principal place of residence is in the Waihou General Constituency area.

As your representative on council, I hope to enhance public engagement in future decisions facing our region. We deserve leadership that listens, learns, and leads with integrity. A communications professional, I believe my public speaking and writing skills will enable me to create a greater sense of dialogue within the community. Many of you know me as your local quiz host, author, actor, Theatre NZ adjudicator, and President of the Matamata Dramatic Society. I’m not just a candidate, I’m also your neighbour, your advocate, and your friend.

I am passionate about the environment. Many local businesses and farmers are investing in a more sustainable future. I planted over 100 native trees on my rural property to improve bird and insect populations. We can do more. With greater education and support at regional level, we can foster a community that works collectively to create a Waikato we are all proud of.
