Straight talk Real results For Papanui

My principal place of residence is in the Papanui Ward of the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board area.

I live in Papanui and run two local businesses – giving me a strong understanding of the challenges families and small enterprises face every day. I’m standing for the Community Board because I care deeply about our community and how decisions are made. Christchurch is regaining its spark, and I want Papanui to be part of that momentum.

I grew up on a farm, where hard work, common sense, and community mattered. I’m passionate about building a real sense of community: where neighbours connect, children feel safe walking home, and rates are spent wisely on what truly matters. I’ll speak up for those who can’t, ask the tough questions, and push for practical, community-led solutions.

I’m not a politician—I’m your neighbour, a businesswoman, and someone who wants the best for our streets, schools, and local shops.

Not a politician, a neighbour who cares.
