I am a dedicated Māori Engagement Strategist with experience in community relations and sustainable development, I am passionate about fostering strong partnerships between Māori communities and the forestry sector. At Te Uru Rakau - New Zealand Forest Service, I focus on creating and implementing strategies that ensure Māori perspectives and knowledge are integral to our forest management practices.Throughout my career, I have developed expertise in community engagement, service delivery, policy development, and sustainable resource management. I have successfully led initiatives that promote environmental stewardship and economic development within Māori communities. My commitment to cultural integrity and sustainability drives me to continuously seek out new opportunities to enhance the well-being of both our forests and the communities connected to them.At my core, I pursue equity for Māori by elevating Indigenous voices, ensuring these perspectives are heard, seen, and valued, particularly in spaces where representation has not been considered.
