Born and raised in Tokomairaro (Milton). Spent a huge part of my life in the shearing industry. My passion is Rongoā and Rongoā Māori, spending time with whānau and learning about the ngahere.
I love working with whānau, walking alongside them on any journeys they embark on. I enjoy working with whānau through a Te Ao Māori lens. Being a Whānau Ora Navigator is extremely rewarding mahi that is different every day.
