He uri tēnei no Ngapuhi, Ngati Ranginui, Ngaiterangi, Tūhoe, Te Whakatōhea, Ngati Porou anō hoki.

Kei te mūrau o te tini, te wenerau o te mano kua haoa e te kūpenga o Taramainuku, koutou mā ngā raukura whakaniko o Te Hao-o-Rua, kia uiui tahi koutou ki te kāpunitanga o te rangi, kia whetū rangitia koutou ki te Huinga o te Kahurangi, ki te Pūtahi-nui-a-Rēhia, hei kahukura whakarāwai ki te poho o Ranginui haere, haere, whakaoti atu rā.

Kei ngā whakatāhuna o te ngaru, ngā tūtara kauika o te wā, e nanaiore ana kia kaupare atu i ngā āhuatanga e tāmi nei i te iwi Māori tēnā wā koutou katoa. I’m a graduate of Otākou Whakaihuwaka (Otago Uni), with a BA Majoring in Sociology & Indigenous Development, but beyond that I’m most proud of being a Raukura of Kōhanga Reo & Kura Kaupapa, as well as a manu tāiko of kura ā-iwi.
