Nõ Ngāti Mihiroa; Ngāti Rangi me Kai Tahu

Ko te mama o Kawakawa rāua ko Peti i te Rangi. Ko te Hoa Rangatira o Jason William Fox.

I tipu ake a Hera ki Pakipaki Heretaunga - kuraina ai ki St Mary's School Hastings, me Sacred Heart College Napier - ko Kahungunu tōna kāinga tuturu.

I whakapumau ki te tohu Roia kei VUW (LLB/BA), engari ka huri tōna whakaaro ki te ao Pakihi i te tau 2000.

I mahi ia ki te ao Pakihi mai i te tau 2000 tae atu ki tēnei wā - i mutu ana tāna Fulbright i te tau 2017, hoki ki Aotearoa i 2018.

Ka tu ia ki ngā poari matua o ētahi Iwi me ētahi Kamupene mai i te tau 2016.

I am passionate about community development and business, specialising in Social Enterprise during my Fulbright Scholarship. 

After 25yrs as an SME owner, I now serve in governance, alongside courageous groups willing to make a positive difference in their communities.

I love the outdoors, and my idea of a perfect day is hiking with family followed by a shared kai, lots of laughs and a bit of storytelling - maybe even a waiata or two.
