Te taha o taku mama
Ko Mahuhukiterangi te waka
Ko Whiti te tupuna
Ko Kapowai te maunga
Titiro iho ana ki tona pa tu moana, ko Motukura
Ko Waikare te awa
Ko Te Turuki te marae
Ko Te Kapotai te hapū
Te taha o taku papa
Toku koroua nō Ngati Porou
Ko Whetumatarau te Maunga
Ko Awatere te awa
Ko Hinerupe te marae
Ko te whānau a Hinerupe te hapū
Ko Tuwhakairiora te tangata
As the team lead for youth services at Te Hau Awhiowhio Trust, I am driven by a vision of empowerment and positive change within our Whangārei community. My role allows me to inspire and support kaimahi and young individuals through mentorship and the supported bail program, helping them to navigate challenges and realize their potential. I am inspired by the resilience and strength of our youth, and I believe in their capacity to create a brighter future. By fostering strong relationships and promoting a sense of belonging, I aim to make a lasting impact that not only transforms individual lives but also strengthens our wider community, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
