Kia Ora

Ko Mara toku ingoa

Ka mihi ki te maunga, Ruahine

Ka mihi ki te awa, Pohangina

Ka mihi ki te iwi, Rangitāne

I am a kaimanaaki (health navigator) for the Here Toitū programme. I have lived in the Manawatu my whole life, with a few years here and there in Rotorua, Christchurch, and Napier. I have a varied working background with most of my experience in social service roles such as Emergency Housing Case Manager, dental assistant, and prison reintegration navigator. I have also been a mobile dog groomer.

I am excited to work along side you in your well-being journey. One of my passions is nga moemoeā (dreams and aspirations) and I would love the opportunity to empower you to reach your dreams and aspirations through walking beside you to make these achievable.

I love to develop a great relationship through whakawhanaungatanga (forming great connections) and look forward to working with you. 

If you think Here Toitū may be just what you need, get in touch and let’s build a positive outlook together.
