I am an indigenous practitioner working in the People and Culture space with a life vision of ‘Making a difference for people’. The strength I bring to my mahi is a People centred approach, guided by the values of honesty, integrity and trust. Connecting with people in a meaningful way is important to me, and using the values of my indigenous culture to do this is the only way I know how.

My cultural confidence journey is life long. I joined Manavation as part of the continuance of my journey, and wow, the inspiration, the support and the motivation just makes being on the journey that much more inspiring.
