Certified:

I grew up in Springfield, Canterbury NZ with my Grandparents. Spent my primary school years there, before moving back up by Mum for my intermediate years. At that time, I lived in Waiōuru as Mum was in the army, made a variety of friendships/relationships, that till this day are still going strong. From there I went to high school back down south by my grandma and spent the rest of my schooling down there.

When I moved back up north by mum, I worked at Taihape McDonalds, starting from crew level, and worked my way up until senior management and running a department. I spent 8 years there, before making the jump and applying for a job as a Whānau Ora Iwi Navigator at Mōkai Pātea Services.

An opportunity which I am thankful I have the privilege to undertake, especially working with whānau in our community.
