Profile National Programme Coordinator - Te Reo

Profile I’ve always been passionate about teaching. I’d worked in Kohanga Reo for more than 10 years, and I felt it was time to up-skill and evolve. When I looked into the amazing programmes at Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi and studied the course outlines, I knew where I wanted to be.

Profile Awanuiārangi is my ancestor and the institution is a whare wānanga in the ancestral landscape of my tribe, Ngāti Awa. The familiarity of the environment, the people, the values and practices encouraged me to ‘rukuhia te mātauranga’ – to seek higher knowledge in an institution that respects my culture and drive to teach and contribute to the revitalisation of Te Reo.

Profile My thesis was written in Te Reo Māori. I am a descendant of Tūhoe, raised in Rūātoki and Taneātua. My mother Maraea (Purewa) Mika was my main idol in nurturing me to where and who I am now.
