Pou Rāhui Taiohi/Kaitiaki

Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Pāoa, Waikato, Ngāti Porou, Rongowhakaata, Te Aitanga a Mahaki, Rongomaiwahine, Ngāti Kahungunu

Ko Tīkapa, ko Te Waitematā me Tūranganui-a-Kiwa ōku moana.

Ko Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki, Ngāti Pāoa, Waikato, Ngāti Porou, Rongowhaakata, Te Aitanga a Mahaki, Rongomaiwahine me Ngāti Kahungunu ngā iwi.

I te noho ahau ki Mātaitai, Clevedon.

I have a great passion and love for the taiao especially the moana. This love led me to study science and in 2023 I graduated from Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington completing a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology and Environmental Science. I have completed rumaki reo at Te Wānanga Takiura o Ngā Kura Kaupapa o Aotearoa. The activations and the aspirations of the Pou Rāhui project align with the future Aotearoa that I want to contribute to.

Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.
