I am a senior project coordinator for the Mental Health and Addiction team, having joined Le Va in June 2024.
I am of Samoan descent where my father hails from Nu’usuatia (Safata) and my mother from A’ufaga (Lepa).
In my previous roles, I have supported Māori and Pasifika students pursuing a career pathway in Health and led a Pasifika recruitment programme in Auckland secondary schools aimed to increase the number of Pasifika health professionals in Aoteraroa.
A fia vave o’o lou va’a, alo na o ‘oe, ae a fia tuli mamao le taunu’uga, tatou ‘alo’alo fa’atasi.” – If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go further, go together – Samoan proverb
