Biography:

Tēnā koutou katoa
Ko Maungakiekie te maunga
Ko Waitematā te moana
Ko Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi te waka
Ko Ngāti Whātua te iwi
Ko Te Taou, ko Ngaoho ngā hapū
Ko Orakei te marae
Nō reira ko tēnei ahau he uri nō Tuperiri e mihi kau atu ana.

Why I love MIT:

Having had many years of teaching experience within the kaupapa Māori system and working as a counsellor and as a lecturer here at MIT I am fortunate to be able to combine my two passions of education and counselling to support students towards becoming culturally safe and competent counsellors.
