He uri ahau no Kāi Tahu me Tūhoe hoki.

I started with Kōia te Mātauraka in August 2026. I have always had a passion for Te Ao Māori and uplifting our rangatahi. I am excited to be working alongside talented Kaimahi that share the same passion and learning more about how to positively implement Te Ao Māori me ngā tikanga into our rangatahi and their learning environments. I am studying Te Reo Māori with Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. I live in Tauwharekākaho with my partner and my stepdaughter, spending most of my weekends watching her compete in Hip-Hop or Salsa competitions. I enjoy singing, cooking and finding fun things to do with my whānau.
