He manu hou ahau, he pī ka rere.
I am Ngāti Awa proud, and purposefully driven by the aspirational and academic desires of those who choose to study here at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi. We are the tira of Awhi Tauira – Student Support, who hold space, and care for all learners. Our aim is to help you succeed. Nau mai, haere mai.

Over the past 15 years, my career has been in education. My role at Te Whare Wanānga o Awanuiārangi as an Awhi Tauira Advisor is centred around providing essential assistance and guidance to tauira, fostering a positive culturally inclusive learning environment.
I enjoy working with the diverse needs of tauira both academically and emotionally, ensuring their holistic well-being throughout their learning journey.
