What led you to working at Healthy Families South Auckland?

Before I took up this role, I was working for Pasifika Medical Association (PMA) Group as a Data Analyst. My role at PMA was to analyse health and wellbeing data of all the Pacific families engaged with all the different Partners or Providers under the Whanau Ora Program. From the results of these analysis I could see that a lot of families are in high needs in terms of education, health and wellbeing. And because of that I feel for these families and I want to reach out to them through the work that I do by analyzing the information that were gathered from them and providing sound recommendations on areas where these families need help on.

Who inspires you and why?

Leaders and Advocates of health and wellbeing initiatives to support our people have inspired me to help them in one way or another.
