Kia Ora, as a current member of the Birkenhead Licensing Trust I am seeking re-election.

Having proudly served this community I have a strong understanding and knowledge of the needs of our local community, sporting groups and schools. I have seen first-hand the dedication, energy and amazing results from these organisations and I understand the funding difficulties that they face.

As a trustee I’m proud to use my knowledge to advocate for our local groups. Together we have steered the Licensing Trust businesses through a difficult covid environment in order to continue to have money flowing back into our community.

I have experience as a member of the Kaipātiki Local Board and have an MPhil in Public Policy. I grew up in Kaipātiki and live in Beach Haven with my husband and two boys.

Please support my fellow “Your Community Trust” and “Shore Action” members, Stuart, Shane, Marilyn and Alexander.
