Papermaker, The Papermill — August 2026 to present.

I am 39 years old and I live in Pipiwai. My favourite colour is red, my favourite food is bananas, and my favourite animal is the snake. I love Michael Jackson, Māori TV, singing, dancing and performing. 

I have a special talent for dancing and magic tricks. My friends describe me as kind, cheeky and humorous, and I am happiest when I am singing. My friends are very important to me and make me laugh. I am proud of my culture and heritage. I am also proud that I can make paper. 

If I could have a superpower, I would choose to be Aquaman. I am proud to be myself. The people, activities and interests in my life help make me who I am. I enjoy sharing what I love with others and spending time with people who understand me. I have my own strengths, my own sense of humour and my own way of seeing the world. I keep learning about myself through work, friendship and everyday experiences. I want people to notice my abilities, listen to what matters to me and enjoy getting to know the real me. I am proud to be me. My story matters. I enjoy sharing my interests.
