About

I have experience establishing and managing projects. I can manage people and projects well, guiding both to successful predefined outcomes. I am a certified Independent Commissioner for RMA 1991. I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Te Reo Māori and Business Management (PGDip Bus Mngt).

I am the current chair of my marae. I have engaged with and have promoted development opportunities for whānau, hapu, iwi and marae. I have contacts in and around the Waikato Region. My experience and skills are varied, including employ as a Finance Officer, Project Manager and Policy Analyst.

I love new challenges and enjoy learning new things. I have provided project management and oversight for a diverse range of projects. Between 2008 and 2012 I assisted Maniapoto Māori Trust Board to secure significant levels of partnered funding for many projects.

I create relationships that endure. You get a confident speaker with a proven ability to work effectively achieving diverse outcomes. I have engaged projects and people successfully using skillsets and experience honed in a variety of work roles and life experience.

In past 8 years I have held a variety of Trustee positions including research, community and Marae Trust positions. I am experienced in flax roots labouring positions too, having worked in the meat, forestry and fisheries industries. You will get an honest, reliable, committed, and capable asset.

I am an asset due to my work ethic and willingness to develop through training. I seek to challenge my personal development. Would you like to add value to your organisations principles, purpose and aim?

I could be your man!
