Increase your confidence and impact
Many passionate kaimahi struggle to integrate different sources of evidence and knowledge, to design effective frameworks and interventions.
I’ve experienced this challenge first hand, it can lead to disagreements about the right way forward, unclear and unusable products, and doubts about whether these can and should be implemented in the real world.
I now support kaimahi to design and deliver services that are evidence-based and culturally safe, by recognising the intersectionalities that shape individuals’ experiences and tailoring services to specific areas of need.
When you work with me, you will have increased confidence in your mahi, because you understand the diverse sources of knowledge that inform your approach, and how these fit together to achieve meaningful outcomes.

My core values
My core values are freedom, excellence, and connection.
Freedom
We all want freedom to work in ways that align with our values and expertise. I’ll work alongside you to identify meaningful outcomes and a clear way forward, including tackling anything that’s getting in the way.
Excellence
It feels good to get things right and know we’re having an impact. We got into this work because we want to change lives. I’ll help you identify strengths and areas for development, so you can be more effective in your mahi.
Connection
Nobody has all the skills, knowledge, or cultural perspectives, collaboration is so important. I love working with other researchers and organisations who are passionate about making a difference.
