Ko Te Aitanga a Maahaki raua ko Ngai Tai ki Tamaki oku iwi.

No Ireland and England hoki

I have worked in athlete development and the sport and fitness industry for over 15 years. I have a Sport and Exercise Science Degree and a Post Graduate Diploma specialising in Advanced Sports Nutrition and Strength and Conditioning for female athletes. In addition, I am PhD candidate at Massey University.  My research is focused on Weightlifting as a catalyst to enhance well-being and support mana wahine values for wāhine Māori in Aotearoa.

I compete in Olympic weightlifting and am passionate about female health and performance, nutrition and strength training and the benefits it has for health, performance, and life in general.
