I’ve worked at a lot of corporate organisations and many big companies, and now I want to give back. For me, it is about working for an organisation that is helping whānau directly.

I love how all our kaupapa are whānau driven. It is informed by whānau for whānau – they know what the need is within their own rohe.

I absolutely love coming to mahi every day and being part of the Whānau Ora dream striving for the success and betterment of our whānau.

Ruia is a fund that lets rangatahi aspire and be what they want to be. I have the privilege of running the fund and helping them determine what they want to be.
