I’m an experienced HR leader with 18 years’ expertise in strategic HR, leadership development, and culturally grounded practices.
My passion lies in creating workplaces where people thrive by embedding Te Ao Māori principles, enhancing inclusivity, and building strong, values-driven cultures. I’ve guided organisations through complex challenges, coached leaders, and mentored emerging professionals to grow confidence and capability.
As a mentor, I offer practical insights, career guidance, and support to help you navigate HR challenges, develop leadership skills, and integrate cultural competence into your mahi. I believe mentoring is about uplifting others, sharing knowledge, and creating ripple effects that strengthen teams and organisations.
If you’re looking for a mentor who values integrity, collaboration, and cultural excellence, I’d love to support your journey and help you achieve your professional and personal goals.
