As a fervent advocate for community development, I am dedicated to supporting initiatives that empower communities to participate, influence, and to design solutions that reflect their values.
With a personal connection to my community as a resident, worker, and active member, my drive to establish this venture stems from a calling to amplify the voices of Pacific communities in New Zealand, empowering them towards self-determination.
Drawing on over two decades of experience in strategic leadership positions across local government operations, multinational fast-moving consumer goods companies, and state-owned enterprises in Samoa and New Zealand, I am committed to community-based initiatives that drive positive change.
