About Me

My passion is the well-being of people and of the land. The work that I do is informed and infused by this passion. My vision for a long time has been the idea of creating community and wellness by honouring and maintaining our health through our connections to each other and the land. I consider myself first and foremost a person of Aotearoa, and have both Māori (Ngāpuhi, Ngāruahinerangi) and Pakeha (mainly Scottish) ancestry.

Research Interests
