I love Geelong. I love living here and I want to make it the best place it can be. I am a community-focused person who is known for getting things done.
Why did you run for council?
Geelong needs people that will stand up for the community, to make it the best place it can be. We are growing, FAST. So this needs to be sustainable with infrastructure ready to go for our new neighbourhoods. I want Geelong to be a world class, thriving, connected and cosmopolitan city.

What does a ‘clever and creative’ geelong region mean to you?
