Auckland,AUK

Summary

Opening Summary: Growing up in South Auckland as a proud Samoan, community has always been at the heart of everything I do. My journey, from founding a community trust with my wife aimed at combating obesity among Māori and Pacific peoples, has been driven by a passion for making a tangible difference. Now, as I prepare to relocate to Tauranga Moana, I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills and dedication to Pasifika Oranga, where I can directly engage with and support my Māori and Pacific community in fostering health, well-being, and resilience.


Objective: My objective is to utilize my community advocacy to contribute meaningfully to Pasifika Oranga's mission in Tauranga Moana. By leveraging my deep cultural understanding and commitment to empowering Māori and Pacific communities, I aim to play an integral role in promoting health awareness, facilitating preventive measures, and fostering a supportive environment that uplifts the well-being of Māori and Pacific peoples. I aspire to make a positive impact on the lives of those within the community while continuing to learn, grow, and advocate for health equity.
