Ko Hikurangi te maunga

Ko Te Raparapa te awa

Ko Ngatokimatawhaorua te waka

Ko Matawaia me Tau Henare nga marae

Ko Te Kau I Mua, Ngati Hine me Te Orewai nga hapu

Ko Ngapuhinui Tonu te iwi

Ko Iritana Davis toku ingoa

 

Born and raised in Whangarei, I am a mother to one daughter; foster mother to another and blessed to have two beautiful mokopuna tamaiti.  I am the eldest of five, aunty to many and fortunate to have my parents still with us.

I am the Residential Team Leader at Te Puna Whaiora o Maunu (Childrens Health Camp) and have been with the organisation for 13 years of which the past 7 years have held this position.  I study part time at NorthTec as a BASS student and look forward to passing my degree in 3 years time.

I am thankful for the opportunity to represent all the Whanau of Te Puna Whaiora o Maunu, past, present and future and look forward to doing the mahi. 

Tihei wa mauri ora kia tatou katoa.
