E mihi kau atu ana ki ngā mana whenua o Te Hiku o Te Ika.

He uri ahau nō Waikato, Maniapoto, heoi ko taku uri nō te Iwi o Ngāti Kuri i Muriwhenua me Nga Puhi.

​

I tipu ake ahau i roto i Te Rohe Potae, i raro i ngā ahutanga o Te Pā Harakeke i roto i Te Whare Pora.

​

I am an interdisciplinary Māori wāhine, who works in a wide variety of aspects that holistically encompasses Te Ao Hauora Māori me ōna Tikanga. I enjoy teaching and passing on the knowledge of our tūpuna, that integrates Te Reo Māori me ōna Tikanga, valuing our culture and traditional practices.

 

This philosophy predominantly reflects my mentors who have unconditionally shared their knowledge, as I continue to also share with students, colleagues, communities of Aotearoa and my whānau.
