Ko Tainui te waka
Ko Taupiri te maunga,
Ko Waikato te awa,
Ko Waikato te iwi,
Ko Ngāti Mahuta te hapu,
Ko Turangawaewae te marae mo te ao katoa,
Ko Reretewhioi te marae poukai,
No Kirikiriroa ahau

I am the HOD Te Reo Maaori at Hillcrest High School. I was born and raised in Kirikiriroa with Kīngitanga values guiding my practice. I am passionate about kaupapa Māori with a focus on building relationships with students, whanau, mana whenua, and the wider community. I have taught in Māori medium settings, and willing to share my mātauranga. I hope to assist the kāhui ako community in achieving their goals.
