I am the Director of Hauora Māori and Equity. I've worked at Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa for just under two years. Before this role, I worked at MIHI (Māori Indigenous Health Innovation Department) Ōtakou Whakaihu Waka (University of Otago).
I've been involved in research and teaching health professionals, with a focus on addressing Māori health inequities, for over 20 years. Prior to that, I set up a Wāhine Ora service with a Kaupapa Māori provider in Ōtautahi. I trained as a RN and have a Master’s in Public Health and a PhD exploring health inequities.
It is important to me to ensure that Wahine Māori feel like Menopause Wellbeing is a service for them, and that their Ruahinetanga journey is validated.
