Tauākī Whaiaro

Ko Pirongia te māunga, Ko Waipā te awa, Ko Tainui te waka, Ko Māhanga Hourua te hapū, Ko Te Papa-o-Rotu te marae. From my soul I am Māori and a Mana Wahine I am steeped in tūturu Māori and Mātauranga Māori. I work each day to honor the values instilled in me by my teachers, mentors, and grandparents. Their lessons in compassion and advocacy guide my role as a voice for clients who cannot speak for themselves, ensuring their stories are heard and their needs addressed with care and integrity.
