I’m a long-time Albert-Eden local with a background in research, teaching and transport advocacy. In my first term on the board, I’ve worked for greener, safer transport, climate action and thriving communities and town centres. I’m looking forward to running for another term so I can keep advocating for a fairer, more sustainable Auckland and supporting our communities as we shape our city’s future together.![]()

Kia ora. I’m keen for a second term of listening to residents and helping Albert-Eden become more beautiful, caring and well-functioning. I’ve brought up my three daughters in Ōwairaka over 35 years, and I’ve worked as a commercial lawyer, educator and climate action researcher. I love community and I’ve worked on communications and social change programmes. I’ve volunteered in sports and youth groups, and on performing arts, disability, school and community law centre governance boards.![]()

I'm a Waterview resident with a nursing background and I'm passionate about community and the environment. I love our area and look forward to designing and building our future together. I've had extensive governance experience at a local and regional level, from school boards to Council to government appointments at Auckland Light Rail and Northern Health Schools. I'm currently the Chairperson of the Albert-Eden Local Board.
Good to get out doorknocking with City Vision Council candidate Red in Roskill South on Saturday morning. Lots of people eagerly awaiting the reopening of Freeland Reserve!
