My passion lies in the development of Māori within corporate spaces and the promotion of our visibility in senior leadership roles. I am an advocate for the transformative power of culture, heritage, language and storytelling, which has shaped my approach to coaching and supporting others. Ko te kai a te Rangatira, he kōrero – tēnā kōrero mai!
