“Governor – Cook Islands World Domination champion – facilitator – connector – family member and friend – these are what I would call my defining characteristics. I am a proud NZ born Cook Islands Maori and I have chosen to be a leader in the field of governance, so I can influence decision-making in areas I am passionate about including arts and culture, broadcasting, social and economic wellbeing. While I started life as an accountant and auditor, I finally found my happy place sitting at Board tables bringing the views, perspectives and needs of the people I represent. I am also proud to live life in regional New Zealand (Hawke’s Bay), while also working across New Zealand and in the Pacific”.
