Statement
I was born and raised in Wānaka, this community has shaped who I am. I’m a working mum, a neighbour, and someone who cares deeply about the people and environment that make this place special. I believe council should reflect the voices of the families, workers, and everyday people who live here.
With a Masters in Sustainable Business and a background in tourism, communications, community projects, and governance, I’ve seen our district from many perspectives, its opportunities and its challenges. What drives me is creating a future where our region is thriving, fair, and sustainable, with decisions that consider both today and the generations to come.
I’m standing for council because I want to bring a fresh, local perspective, one that values community, equality, and honesty. If you believe in a council that listens and represents everyone, I’d be honoured to earn your vote.
For people, place and future generations.
