About Me
Wellington needs a reset. A safer city, with better access, that supports local businesses and puts its ratepayers first. That shouldn’t be a big ask.
My background is in creative and startup technologies, where innovation, good governance, leadership, communication and collaboration deliver results. I also know how to create great things from tiny budgets. My ed-tech products have been used by millions of students around the world, and now I want to bring my business savvy, future-focused mindset to the council to help solve some of Wellington’s biggest challenges.
I love this city. I was raised here, and I'm now raising my family here. I believe my skills, mindset & business acumen can add real value to the council.
It’s time to get back to basics, fix up the essentials, and work back to the future.

Where I stand
On The Basics:
I want to bring a disciplined focus to the council table and focus on the essentials: pipes, parks, pools, libraries, community services, safe spaces and good access.
On Access:
Better access for everyone, no matter their mode of transport. A bustling city needs people. We need to make access to Wellington simpler, easier, more cost-effective and not prioritise one form of transport to the detriment of others.
On Safety:
I support reinstating bylaws so police can do their jobs and respond to homelessness. Council must work with social housing providers and central government to make our city safer and cleaner.
On Rates:
Wellington must be affordable for the next generation. Currently it's not. The outrageous rate increases are pushing people out of Wellington.
The Lambton
Ward
The city we love is under threat.
Current councillors have voted to remove cherished landmarks like the City-to-Sea Bridge and the Begonia House—just to make way for more cycle lanes and pedestrian crossings.
Join me. Let’s drive Wellington toward a better future—one that balances progress with safety, supports business, and improves access for everyone.
Donate
I would really appreciate any help to make changes needed whether it be by small donation to help cover costs or just ideas suggestions to move us forward
