Kia ora! I live in Tāmaki Makaurau. As well as working for Blueprint, my other mahi involves training people in the use of Motivational Interviewing and Pūrākau (Traditional Māori narratives of origin) What I enjoy most in life and mahi is connection. I love to spend my free time doing many different things…time with friends, playing pool, dancing, hiking,,,the list goes on and on.
A book I recommend is The Prophet – Khalil Gibran as it gave me clarity and made sense to me about many facets in life. If I could give my younger self advice, I would say “You have the choice as to which wolf you feed.” The thing I love most about Facilitating is witnessing the lightbulb moments that shift people’s paradigm in a fundamental way. Something you might be surprised to know about me is I competed in the NZ frisbee championship in 1983!
