Malo e leilei my name is Taitusi (Tusi) Manuele, I am an American born/NZ raised, and I come from the villages of Kolomotu’a and Falevai in Tonga. I come from a strong traditional and religious family, being raised by my Grandparents they have always taught and shown me the importance of family, love, education, and God being the center of all the above.
I have worked in construction as a pipefitter/plumber coming up to 6 years. I enjoy working in construction, every day is something different with new challenges, also keeping me to be fit physically and mentally, and working with a good group of people.
I have always been compassionate and motivated for mental health and youth work especially in our Pasifika communities, engaging with our people.
