I am a Manukura Akona (SWiS) kaimahi a part of Tuwharetoa ki Kawerau Hauora. Born and bred in Kawerau, and have a passion for whakamana nga whanau.  I support tamariki here at Tarawera High School that are year 7 and 8. Providing a safe space for tamariki to korero, working with them with what’s going on and striving to achieve positive outcomes is my Kaupapa, and ensuring their whanau have wrap around supports that are tika, pono, and done with aroha. I am based at the kura Wednesdays and Thursdays so nau mai haere mai whanau.
