Claiming spaces, growing voices – Global citizen, Pacific heart, Ocean core. A firm believer in the creative power and mana of ‘tok-stori’ (storytelling) to deepen the conversations on stuff that makes the heart sing. Hailing from the Cook Islands, I’m a closet poet with some dusty documentary awards somewhere. My paid work revolves around media advice and public affairs off the back of decades in journalism, gender advocacy and photography– all of which I still really love as passion projects.
