Ki a koutou, nga Kaiwhakahaere o Te Roopu New Zealand First, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou.
I was born in Whangarei and am a descendant of the Ngati Hau Hapu of Ngapuhi. I am also a descendant of Tainui.
My main motivators in standing for the position of Candidate - New Zealand First, Te Tai Tokerau are Maori Economic Development and bridging the gap between our peoples - Maori and Pakeha. As well, a priority for me is Youth Development and Trade Training, my own humble beginnings being in Maori Trade Training.
I see myself as a role model for Rangatahi. My extensive travels throughout the world have equipped me with the ability to interact with people from all walks of life.
The ultimate outcome for me is to be involved in effecting effective change in the advancement and enhancement of the future of our peoples.
No reira - noho ora mai. Arohanui
