Ngāti Apakura, Waikato Maniapoto

Intern at:

I grew up in the space of Māori Performing Arts having had parents and grandparents being leaders in the Kapa Haka realm and all that comes with it. For the last 5 years I was working as a Te Reo Māori teacher at Te Wānanga o Aotearoa. Things changed in my life, which has brought me here to Toi Māori, to Te Pou Theatre.

I would like to acknowledge and thank Amber Curreen, Tainui Tukiwaho, Amanda Rees and the rest of our Te Pou team for opening your arms out to me.

I look forward to learning the many ways of theatre and getting the ins and out of productions. Again, e kore te puna o te mihi e mimiti ki a kotou i whakairo mai kia whai wāhi ai tēnei ihu hūpē ki ngā ringa me ngā huruhuru a te matakaikutu, a te kirikawa ki ngā Toi Rehia. Hikaka katoa ana tēnei ki te kai i ngā hua kua hora ki tēnei Takapau Mātauranga.

​Aku rahi tēnā koutou!
