Otago is blessed with stunning landscapes, rare wildlife, and incredibly talented people. I’ve lived in Queenstown for 28 years, managing tourism businesses, leading conservation projects, and working alongside community leaders to get things done.

When Covid hit, I pivoted from tourism to conservation, connecting and supporting a powerful grassroots network of environmental groups and the local businesses backing them.

This led to engagement with the regional council and government processes. I believe that what’s good for people, business, and the environment don’t have to be in conflict. With integrity, coordination, and long-term thinking, we can build a thriving Otago—economically, environmentally, and socially.

I’m standing for Otago Regional Council because I think my unique mix of practical know-how and future-focused leadership, rooted in real community connection and experience, can help deliver on this outcome.
