I am inspired by the kaupapa that Te Hau Awhiowhio upholds and I’m deeply privileged to walk alongside and carry the role of supporting our tumuaki. With a grounded presence, I share the weight of responsibility with integrity and care, guided by the principles of whanaungatanga, manaaki, and kotahitanga.
“True purpose is not found in titles or tasks, but in the quiet commitment to uplift, to restore, and to walk with integrity;
where every step is shaped by tikanga, every action by aroha, and every outcome by shared vision.”
