I was born green eyed with blonde hair, and never thought my appearance really matched the language that I spoke or the way I felt. I’m a product of reo Māori movements and became part of the revival of a language and the strengthening of a culture from a young age. Genetically rich from my Māori and Pākehā whakapapa, I had no choice that someday I would be a creative.

I love to make a mess with paint and I’m equally passionate about Māori performing arts. These are my preferred mediums however I strive on fear and excitement and truly believe this is where magic lives, so anything is possible. I have grown and now truly believe and feel that my appearance is the perfect match to my voice and the visual languages I speak.
