About Me

“I am an emerging governance professional, Executive MBA candidate, and senior leader with a strong interest in sport, wellbeing, equity, and community impact. I bring a practical commercial lens, cultural intelligence, and lived experience across Māori, Pacific, and neurodiverse contexts. My approach is grounded in inclusion, service, and long-term intergenerational wellbeing. I am interested in supporting organisations that want to strengthen participation, representation, and sustainable growth across sport, play, and active recreation.”
