Personally very passionate about elevating Te Reo Māori amongst all New Zealand communities and seeing it become a more everyday part of life in New Zealand. I have recently started my reo journey with AUT and am actively trying to encourage others to start learning in whatever way they can too, from tuning into Māori TV, listening to waiata, reading books like The Bone People which integrate more language etc. Posting on social emdia I know will get a lot of engagement so although I am very nervous to do it, I want to!
