Ko au mihi

I enjoy being surrounded by whānau and friends, and I have an enthusiastic passion for supporting and caring for the community around me, I've always felt my role from a young age was to foster and advocate for Tamariki. Growing up in a family of 14, I feel I've always had an intuitive connection for nurturing and supporting children's development.
