• My passion is being outdoors, anything outdoors is my element. I consider myself a skilled pig hunter as I love the thrill of the hunt which is a typical day out for me. My grandparents and my whanau have contributed to these attributes I resemble from the nurturing and teachings they have given me. I currently live in Pawarenga so being apart of running kaupapa taiao specifically to Te Au Warawara are great opportunities for me to upskill myself in knowledge and mahi. Fishing, gathering kaimoana and harvesting kai is something I enjoy and get great satisfaction from, especially when I can give back to those like my kaumatua and kuia who have blessed me with so much. I have always been involved in kaitiakitanga projects in my home including recycling, beach clean ups, fencing, mahi on the marae and building. I have some experience in using powered hand tools. I am physically fit, available to start work and able and open to learning more on the job.
