He uri ahau nō Ngā puhi me Taranaki anō hoki. I was born in Hamilton and raised right here in Tāmaki makaurau Manurewa.

My favourite taonga is the whakapapa on the gallery walls of Te Ao Tūroa. The ōrokohanga or origin of various fauna and flora from a Mātauranga Māori perspective.

Te Ao tūroa, I love that it contains the whakapapa from atua, through to people things and nature.

If I could meet anyone from history, it would be any of the rangatira that signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840.
