My Māori Governance journey has its origins in and on the whenua. After spending more than 20 years in the city, my whānau and I moved home to my tūrangawaewae. For the last 7 years, we have held ahikā and I have been heavily involved in all things marae, hau kainga and whenua. It's something else moving home as an adult - many of my pākeke who were here when I was growing up have since ascended to become stars in the night sky. I am thankful for the pākeke that we still have today, they are the real MVP's who, between them, hold generations of old world māramatanga that enable us to thrive and prosper on our whenua, as our tīpuna did... that is the vision!

 Tū Whenua Admin Solutions is my contribution toward achieving that vision for ngā hapū katoa ō te motu.

 While my technical skills and abilities have been sharpened in my professional, and corporate background - the worldview that informs my reasons and the ways that I carry out my mahi today, have been nurtured by the only place and people that could... my whānau, hapū and the taiao that has protected, fed and sheltered us since time immemorial.
