I am blessed to be a Pākeha working within a large organisation within Te Ao Maori. I have been able to utilise my learning of Reo at Level 4 and Tikanga at Level 3 daily in the workplace. From leading morning karakia for our office to contributing and participation in Pōwhiri, I have used every opportunity to ask and respond to others in Reo.

I have also been researching the deeper meaning of kupu to better understand the origin and intended use of the kupu.
