Melanie Goodwright

Kia orana, I am Mel. I’m an Aotearoa born Aitutakian/European, proudly raised in Kirikiriroa Hamilton, Waikato.

I am an alumna of the University of Auckland and Auckland University of Technology and for the past five years, I have been dedicated to advancing Māori and Pacific health.

Through collaborative initiatives across Aotearoa and the South Pacific, my focus is on enhancing environments through education, legislative reform, and community mobilisation to support sustainable and holistic wellbeing.

My beautiful children are my biggest drivers and enablers.
