Summary

Ever since I was young, I have always known I wanted a career working with tamariki and their families. I am deeply passionate about fostering positive relationships, providing support, and empowering families to thrive. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of building meaningful connections with families. I understand the importance of trust and communication in fostering strong relationships, and I take great pride in being a reliable and compassionate source of support for those I work with.


I am passionate about empowering families to tap into their strengths and resources to create positive change in their lives. Whether it's providing practical assistance, offering emotional support, or connecting families with community resources. I am committed to ongoing learning and professional development to ensure that I am providing the highest quality of care and support to the families I serve.


My ultimate goal is to continue making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. I am excited about the opportunity to develop my skills and experience and to contribute to an organization that shares my passion for empowering families and creating positive change in the community.
