Inspired by the whakataukī, He iti te mokoroa, nāna i kakati te kahikatea – “Although the grub is small, it gnaws away at the white pine (kahikatea)” I believe seemingly small, consistent, and meaningful steps can create significant change.

What I find most meaningful about my role is building genuine connection with youth and supporting them to create the lives they want. I enjoy finding creative and collaborative ways to understand their needs, work towards their goals, and support positive change.

In my spare time I enjoy meditation, reading, music, various creative things, nature, and being with friends and whānau.
