Kia ora tātou, #introduction time.
I’m from Ngāti Kahungunu, grew up in #HawkesBay, and now live in #TāmakiMakaurau with Jo, our three teenage boys and one very ‘exuberant’ dog.
I’m a public health physician and Associate Professor in #MāoriHealth at the #UniversityOfAuckland. My teaching and research focuses on #IndigenousHealth, #HealthEquity, #PlanetaryHealth and #ClimateJustice.
I’m interested in #ActiveTransport / #urbanism and love #football (longtime #NUFC supporter, now very conflicted).
