Waikato District Health Board
Dec 2009 - Nov 2012 · 3 yrs
I have a work history that spans across three key sectors, notably health. I have worked extensively within New Zealand's largest district health boards, and I am currently serving at Counties Manukau Health (CMDHB). The region is home to the largest Maori (Maaori) and Pacific population in New Zealand. Therefore I feel this is an important factor in my work.
I am happily married to Equator, a mother to seven children, and a grandmother to two grandchildren.
