Candidate profile statement

I have been a resident of Tawa since 2019. I moved here as this is the best place in Wellington to live and raise a family. As a new Dad I will use my spot on the Community Board to ensure that this remains the best place to live in Wellington, now and for our kids.

The Wellington region has a growing list of challenges from climate change to worn-out infrastructure. The community board is the way to ensure that Tawa’s voice is heard.

I have the skills and experience to get the best deal for you and Tawa. I work with people from all backgrounds in both the private and public sector, and I am highly skilled at building relationships and influencing people to get win-win results. I am a policy professional and have strong skills which I would use to assess and create policies to benefit Tawa.
