Biography
Ka nui te mihi ki a koutou. Ko Katie tōku ingoa.
I whakapapa to Ngāi Te Rangi in Tauranga Moana and Clann MacGilleEathain (Clan McLean) in the Scottish highlands.
I completed my BA and BA(Hons I) in Biological Anthropology at Waipapa Taumata Rau | The University of Auckland. I previously worked at Waipapa Taumata Rau as the Lead Tutor for Māori Health and a Mentor for the Tuākana program, helping Māori and Pasifika tauira reach their potential and succeed in tertiary study.
I am passionate about facilitating Māori and Pasifika success in tertiary education – particularly in the health arena. Increasing the number of Māori and Pasifika in the health workforce is integral to remedying the differential health outcomes for our MPI communities across Aotearoa.
