MIHIMIHI:
I was born and have spent most of my life in Otorohanga, Maniapoto rohe. However I whakapapa to Ngāti Whātua o Otamatea and Ngāti Wai o Waikare. I currently live with my tane in the Taheke – Otaua area of the Hokianga and love it.
This year I celebrated 50 years since I began my nursing education. It has been the most amazing career and I can’t see me stopping any time soon. I cannot think of another career that encourages your growth as an individual so much and offers so many opportunities to work in. The challenge is choosing. I am committed to effective nursing care that reduces inequity.
