Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou katoa.

I came to Murihiku 34 years ago and am married to Bruce. We have 4 tamariki and are eagerly waiting for our first mokopuna, due in November.

I am a NZ registered dietitian and have worked over the past 14 years in various roles which have been mainly in Maori health and nutrition. I am excited about joining Nga Kete Matauranga Pounamu Charitable Trust and working with the whanau whanui in Murihiku once again.My role is to develop a public health programme for Maori with a focus on Oranga kai, Oranga pumau; (Healthy eating, Healthy action).

No reira, kia ora koutou.
