He rangi tā matawhāiti, he rangi tā matawhānui.
A person with narrow vision has a restricted horizon; a person with wide vision has plentiful opportunities
Tēnā koutou katoa,
Ko Ema Tuakoi tōku ingoa
Nō uri ahau o Ngāti Whakaue rātou ko Ngāti Tūwharetoa, ko Ngāti Maru - Hauraki, nō Repanona ahau hoki ki te taha o tōku whaea.
Ko Ngongotaha rāua ko Tongariro te maunga,
Ko Utuhina rāua ko Tarawera te awa,
Ko Arawa rāua ko Tainui te waka,
Ko Te Rōtorua-a-Kahumatamomoe rāua ko Taupō-nui-a-tia te moana,
Ko Te Kuirau rāua ko Mokai te marae,
Ko Te Roro o te Rangi me Turipuku rātou ko Ngāti Moekino, ko Ngāti Rautao te hapū,
Ko Te Roro o te Rangi rāua ko Te Heuheu te tīpuna,
Nō uri ahau o Ma'ufanga rāua ko Holonga ki Tongatapu ki te taha o tāku matua.
E noho ana au ki Ōtara, Tāmaki-makau-rau i tipua ahau ki kōnei hoki.
I am currently in my last year at Waipapa Taumata Rau – The University of Auckland, studying towards a Bachelor of Science (Psychology). Next year, I intend to continue into postgraduate studies. My career intention is to become a Clinical Psychologist, incorporating Mātauranga Māori and Pasifika values into therapy for Māori and Pasifika rangatahi.
I believe that my own ethnically diverse background, mixed with that of my hometown, South Auckland, has allowed me to recognise the increase in productivity when we apply a range of cross-cultural, Māori and Indigenous knowledges to any kaupapa.
I am incredibly honoured to be the 2022 Winter Student for Whakauae Research Services. Working under Dr. Tanya Allport, I will be completing a literature review that includes an annotated bibliography and a thematic analysis within a written review. This literature review will contribute to a project titled “Capacity and capability building of the Māori research workforce”.
