Hello everyone. I am passionate about my role as a councillor and wish to continue to serve the Manawatū community and am seeking re-election.

Married to Wayne, we live rurally near Halcombe and own a busy trade store in Feilding. We have three adult children.

Being a councillor is a big commitment and it has been a privilege being your elected representative for several terms now. I have demonstrated that I have the time, capability, integrity and energy for the position. I always put council first.

I am actively involved in all areas of council, holding numerous positions including RMA Commissioner, Hearings Committee chair, District Licensing Committee, Audit & Risk, and a productive member of multiple working groups and assessment panels.

Outside of council I give much of my time to the health & wellbeing sector in a governance capacity where I bring a strong rural voice.
