JOHNSON Marita - Candidate profile
Affiliation: Independent
My principal place of residence is in the Dunedin City Council area.
In 2004 I started calling Dunedin home, put roots down, and got involved in the vibe of Dunedin.
I fell in love with the city, natural environment, historic buildings, art, music, and the people. My career has been diverse, from working in one of New Zealand’s leading fashion houses, to my current role Kaiāwhina nursing in elderly care, which is where my enjoyment of working with people has been able to grow through my passion for advocacy, leading me to a role as a Kaiāwhina at a ministerial level, for the Ministry of Health, being able to influence positive changes. Grassroot values is where I see myself. As an independent candidate I will work with the residents of Dunedin to ensure the voice of the People is heard whilst maintaining my values of integrity, honesty, being accountable and committed to the future of our city and the residents of Dunedin.
