Kia ora
I am currently a third year student at AUT studying a Bachelor in Spatial Design. Throughout my education I have developed a passion for the arts and the contribution it has on the changing world.
As a child born into a full immersion maori environment educated at Kohanga Reo through to kura kaupapa I have always been motivated by my identity and cultural awareness.
From full immersion kura to high school at a strong, traditional, English, Girls Boarding School I learned some values of being part Pakeha as well, values that I feel have helped shaped the world we live in now.
To this day I find myself eager and passionate about utilizing the beauty of Maori culture in this changing world and appreciating the sharp qualities of the Western World.
I am very interested in using this drive through Urban design, a discipline that I feel Maori culture is still learning to thrive in as Aotearoa moves forward.

Nga mihi nui ki a koutou katoa.
