Statement
As a proud Wānaka local for nearly 25 years, I care deeply about our community and its future. I run a thriving local wine business and have a young family.
I believe that it is time for a culture shift, one that brings practical, future-focused thinking to local government. Upper Clutha is growing rapidly, and we must ensure our infrastructure and services grow with us, without losing the unique spirit that makes this place so special.
We need strong, local voices at QLDC, voices that advocate for the Upper Clutha. I know Wānaka is full of energy, ideas, and talent. I’m committed to listening, engaging, and working hard to represent those voices around the council table.
I’m passionate about positive change and building a future that reflects the values of our people. I would be honoured to have your support, thank you for considering me.
