Community Representative I am the newest member of Te Ao Hou but I am quickly finding my feet amongst it all.  I raised and educated my children in Opotiki and in those years I have grown very passionate about this town and community.  I have been working in the health sector since my youngest child started school 19 years ago.

I have seen many changes and have been an integral part of some of those changes.  I see areas that could be improved in provision and supply of services and I also see areas where people could be better informed on what they can do for their own health and that of their whanau. By working with Te Ao Hou I hope to be able to see the implementation of good, family based health initiatives, and health improvements in people’s lives that will flow on to the mokopuna and beyond.
