Work History

Youth Program Developer for 'At Risk Youth' / Makeup

Oranga Tamariki - Ministry For Children

I have been working on and off with Oranga Tamariki Youth Justice since 2019.

My main role was to facilitate a makeup up program to young women in the unit and help them build their self- confidence.

2024- Myself and another artist created a program to deliver to youth at Whakatakapokai Y.J residence. Instead of myself delivering, a team of professional artists delivered for me.
