Nelson needs fresh energy, bold ideas, and practical action. I’m standing for Council to help make that happen.
As an architect, small business owner, parent of three, and community organiser,
I know first-hand the challenges faced by young people, families and local businesses. My work – spanning public, commercial, and residential projects – has taught me how council decisions shape our daily lives, from housing affordability to smart, sustainable growth. I have served Nelson as Branch Chair of the NZ Institute of Architects, as part of the WICK Library Redevelopment Working Group, of Nelsust Active Transport Committee, and as Secretary of the Nelson College for Girls PTA.​
