Tōku reo, tōku ohooho, tōku reo, tōku māpihi maurea, tōku reo, tōku whakakai marihi! 

Language is the key to understanding. Te reo Māori is home for me and I love that I am part of the language revitalisation.

Ko te reo te kaikawe i ngā whakaaro ki te ao Māori. A proud product of the kōhanga reo movement and further venturing into the Māori worldview,

 I've become a passionate advocate of our indigenous language and I'm here to share it to those who are hungry to learn and safeguard our language.

I was born on Waiheke Island and grew up at Piritahi Marae. I then moved to Hamilton where my knowledge of the Waikato people grew extensively. My passion for teaching comes from the love to share and nurture the growth and learning of students. I love using the oral traditions of my tipuna, sharing te reo Māori and te ao Māori through storytelling.
