As your local Vincent Councillor for 8 years and Deputy Mayor for the last 2, I am deeply committed to ensuring our Council represents the wishes of our community. I have fought to protect and increase our tree canopy, supported precinct plans to reduce traffic and create more bike paths and championed the needs of young people, including delivering the Mt Hawthorn Skatepark.

As a long-term Mt Hawthorn resident, I have volunteered in our school and community for over 15 years, using my legal and communications background and experience as a small business owner to advocate for the things we love about Vincent.

I have worked hard to support major projects in Vincent, like underground power, and investment in our town centres, parks and sporting facilities. I will continue to drive positive engagement with you, to make sure you are heard, and the Vincent way of life is celebrated.

I bring experience, hard work and compassion to Council and will continue to be accessible to you.

I have been honoured to serve as a North Ward Councillor for 8 years, with the last 2 years as your Deputy Mayor. In this time, I have worked hard to represent the community I love and ensure Vincent remains a vibrant, progressive and welcoming place to live, work and play. I would love your support to keep representing you and working to make our neighbourhoods even better.

We still have challenges to face, and I am committed to fighting for our Vincent way of life. I will continue to support sustainable transport options, improvements to our footpaths and more bike paths to ensure we can all move safely around Vincent.

Our tree canopy is under threat from the Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer, and I am committed to improving our precious green spaces, planting more trees and finding ways to protect our existing canopy. We must ensure our greening program also supports native wildlife and biodiversity to meet the challenges ahead. I have supported the roll out of underground power to enhance our streets and allow for more tree canopy.

As traffic increases, we must work to reduce the impact of cars on our local roads to protect pedestrians and residents and keep our streets safe. I have consistently supported initiatives to reduce speeds, such as the 40km/hr project, championed by Vincent, and have fought for the development of precinct-wide plans to make sure we take a smart approach to traffic management - not just more speed bumps that push traffic problems onto other streets.

In considering our strategic plans and planning decisions at Vincent, I have supported high-quality design to ensure that housing growth is handled sensitively, sustainably and in a way that complements and enhances the character and feel of our neighbourhoods and town centres.

When I ask my friends and neighbours what they love about Vincent, the number one response is "community". I hope to keep playing my part in helping you feel connected, valued and listened to.
