I’m down with a good beer and good company! Started my career in the iwi radio space back home in Te Tai Tokerau and then moved into being a presenter on Pukana, I Am TV and other television shows. I then found a passion for behind the camera and really just being a natural tutu with editing and shooting. Coming up to ten years growing Arataua as a Kaupapa and heaps more to learn.
Recently launched my second te reo Māori hip hop album ‘Whaikōrero Raps 2” where I get to fuse my aroha for te reo Māori and passion for hip hop together- Doitz. Chur

Tūranga mahi: Kaihautu / Director
My labels include: Māmā, kaihaka and wahine Māori, I love everything about being Māori, the good, the bad and the hōhā
My career background is in the marketing, media and tertiary sectors and grateful for the leap we took some years back to start our own pakihi (business). Our two kōtiro Māori have grown up in this small humble kaupapa and everything we commit to is about providing tamariki and whānau like ours who are passionate about te reo Māori with quality content.
I am also passionate about supporting other Māmā like me and in 2018 founded the Kia Ora Māmā Community (Charitable Trust). A kaupapa dedicated to uplifting and empowering Māori Māmā on their journeys whatever that may be.
Kapa Haka also plays a siginificant part in our lives and you’ll often hear it blasting on our UE Booms or a poi twirling here and there.
E mihi nui atu ana ki a koutou.
