Te Rarawa, Ngāti Pāhauwera
At Tāmaki Paenga Hira I'm able to weave together my passions for technology, music and storytelling. From supporting the technical delivery of live music events, lectures, gallery exhibitions and digital experiences, it’s a role that is both multifaceted and culturally rewarding.
As a recording artist, a highlight for me was recording my first te reo Māori single release ‘E Kura’ on a world renowned Fazioli Grand Piano in the Museum's South Atrium. Not only did It signal the start of my te reo journey here at the Musuem, but it was also a way to inspire others to do the same.
“Kia ū ki Pae Tawhiti, ko tō mana kei runga. He uri nō Taputapuātea
Stay true to your direction, your power is infinite. For you descend from greatness – E Kura (Dear One).”
