About me

I te tau 2017 noa iho ahau tīmata ai aku mahi i te ao pāpaho. Ko ngā hōtaka nā māua ko taku hoa i waihanga i roto i ngā tau, ko Pipi Mā, ko Living By The Stars, ko Beyond Matariki, ko Inutai. Ko te katoa o tā māua i waihanga ai nō roto mai i te ao Māori, ko te reo kawe ko te reo Māori anō hoki. Koinei te momo hōtaka e ngākaunui nei au. Mēnā he wāhi ki a au ki te whakatairanga, ki te whakapiki anō i te mana o te ao Māori i te pouaka whakaata, i te whare pikitia rānei kua kotahi atu au ki te kaupapa rā.
