My professional career spans leadership roles across commercial, regional, national and community sectors. I have held senior executive and management roles with TR Development Group and Progressive Enterprises and led major initiatives across retail, farming, tourism, environmental and youth support. My early years in the various roles laid the foundation for a commitment to people and environment. Regionally, I've contributed to key governance forums, including Civil Defence, Climate Adaptation and Economic Development. I've also served nationally on the Department of Conservation's Percentage of Revenue Committee. My community work includes chairing school boards, leading youth sports and supporting local clubs and grants committees. I believe in responsible governance built on integrity, transparency, fiscal accountability and action. We need a council that listens, represents our people and communities and delivers better outcomes for Kaipara. Source: KDC
