Biography

I'm a proud Middlemore born baby, raised in the mighty Manurewa.

Ethnicity wise, I'm a fruit salad stemming from Samoan, Cook Island, Chinese and Maori heritage. I can't speak fluently in any of my cultures just yet, but my life goal is to be able to speak all of them. I do, however speak tagalog/filippino, which is awesome.

Coming from an upbringing where family was of top priority, I quickly developed an understanding of how important it is to steer and guide our children and youth on the right path. That's what peaked my interest here at Pathways. I'm big on having our youth levelling up and creating new pathways for themselves as they transition into adulthood. Being a part of their growth is just a bonus blessing.

Outside of work I love an early morning basketball run, slow jazz music and some smooth longboarding.
