I’m a Strategic Engagement and Workforce Strategy professional passionate about building a stronger, future-ready Aotearoa. With experience across education curriculum and industry leadership, I’ve led national initiatives shaping education, workforce development and Pacific participation across manufacturing, engineering, and logistics industries. My CliftonStrengths of Maximizer, Futuristic, Ideation, Intellection, and Responsibility guide how I lead - combining vision, creativity, and accountability to deliver excellence. I thrive in environments that value collaboration, inclusion, and strategic thinking. Currently, I’m an Industry Manager at Hanga-Aro-Rau, working alongside industry partners to align skills, training, and opportunity for New Zealand’s future workforce.
