What motivated you to be involved with BayTrust?
The Bay of Plenty, especially the Eastern Bay, has been my home for my entire life. Though the Bay of Plenty has gone through some hard times, I sense the vibrancy returning to our communities with much more opportunity for the communities to grow and I wish to be a part of that.
What are you most passionate about in supporting the community?
I am very passionate about jobs and also supporting grass-roots community organisations that are the backbone of many of our communities.
What are your three favourite things about the local community where you live?
More than anything - it is about the people, the people, the people.
What are you excited about for the future in the Bay of Plenty?
There are so many different ideas and kaupapa to help in the betterment of the Bay of Plenty - it excites me each and every day to help bring those to fruition.
