Born Here.
Raised Here.
Serving Here.

Atlantis is not just where I live.Atlantis is my story.

I arrived in Atlantis as a baby in 1977 and grew up alongside this community. I attended Silverstream Crèche, Wesfleur Primary School and Atlantis Senior Secondary School. The people, schools, streets and institutions that shaped my life are the same ones that continue to shape our community today.

As we approach the 4 November Local Government Election, I am asking a simple question:

Can I Count On Your Support?

A Lifetime In Atlantis

Joy

My connection to Atlantis is deeply personal.

I have lived through the growth, challenges and transformation of this community for almost my entire life.

My understanding of Atlantis does not come from reports or statistics.It comes from lived experience.It comes from raising a family here, serving on community structures, working alongside residents and seeing firsthand both the struggles and the incredible potential that exists in our community.

I believe where you live matters. The quality of your environment, the opportunities available to your family and the support available to your community matter.

"Atlantis has never lacked potential. What we need is leadership that listens, understands and works with residents to create practical solutions."

What Drives Me

Dignity

Every resident deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.

Opportunity

Opportunity should not be limited by age, background or circumstance.

Inclusion

Every person deserves the opportunity to participate fully in community life.

Why Inclusion Matters To Me

As the mother of a daughter with Down syndrome, I understand how important accessibility, inclusion and equal participation are.

I believe a community is strongest when nobody is left behind. That includes children, young people, working families, senior citizens and persons living with disabilities.

This belief influences how I approach leadership, service and community development.

Can I Count On Your Support?

If you believe Atlantis deserves leadership rooted in community, experience, dignity and service,I would love to hear from you.
