A public health leader with a strong focus on evidence-based policy, social equity, treaty justice and sustainable systems for all.

All people in Aotearoa should be able to enjoy healthy, fulfilling, and long lives, but this is becoming increasingly out of reach for anyone but the wealthiest of us. Through my work in public health and nutrition, I’ve worked hard to advocate for equitable and fair evidence-based policies that support well-being across generations, and in my private life I’ve tried to make the political personal by embracing green values. But, I believe that real, meaningful change will only occur under a Green-led Government, which is why I am putting my hand up to help make this a reality.
