As a child I spent many holidays on Aotea, enjoying birdsong, dining on kukupa, capturing lizards and frogs, and being chased by cave weta and beetles. I remember swimming in the clear sea and feasting on kaimoana until we were too full for dinner. My vision is for our Tamariki to experience a similar lifestyle. I am the second eldest of eight children. My father, Peter Davies, was the only son of Te Ngaru and grandson of Pita Kino and Ngapera. I descend from Kawhena, Kino Reweti, Ngapeka and Ngawhare. Though I spent years away from the island, I returned to lay my eldest son to rest in Motairehe in 1990.

My background is in health as a medical doctor, specializing in mental health, and I am also a mother of 3 children. I have a desire to advance the health and educational opportunities for our iwi. This can be achieved through a collaborative approach with whanau, marae and hapori.

I returned to Aotearoa in November 2023 after 14 years in Australia, where I worked in vocational and tertiary education, focusing on governance and compliance. Prior to leaving Aotearoa in 2009, I was employed by the Ministry of Justice. During my time abroad, I earned a Bachelor’s degree, a Graduate Certificate in Education and a Masters Degree in Education from Massey University. I am passionate about education, upskilling and creating opportunities. I returned to serve my community, dedicating my skills and knowledge to benefit our people and contribute to their collective advancement.

With a background in Health Science, Business Management, and Event Planning, I successfully established a community market with my family. Currently I work in health insurance and am passionate about education, health and wellbeing. I live in Kirikiriora with my dog, Chloe, and travel back to the motu frequently. My goal is to uplift the mana of the community and facilitate growth for future generations.
