About me

I am whakawahine Māori, a filmmaker/actress, I also have an ambitious addiction to storytelling. Sitting at the intersection of Māoritanga and takatāpuitanga, I want to see stories where the water runs deep, stories that are electric, authentic, and truthful. I believe we all have many tales the world deserves to see, and I want to be someone who helps make that happen.
