Why do I do what I do? 

​

’m here to get the good shit done and leave this place better than I found it. I’m not interested in empire building or wealth hoarding but I am interested in systems change for social impact. Which is how I've ended up in government, working with decision makers who have the power to create positive change.

​

I believe we all have the power to make a difference wherever we are, and that each of us has a responsibility to do so, with whatever resources we’ve been given. 

​

For me that starts with the people, communities and organisations around me. And here in Aotearoa it means active decolonisation and reindigenisation.
