WHAKAPAPA is what makes Horowhenua special to Me… 
Where ever I go I know I am HOME!

I also love being a part of a community where every second person is Whanau, even if they are not related by blood.

I enjoy being a Student at Horowhenua College and part of the Rangatahi Ora Rōpū.

I love playing Rugby and had the privilege of being the Captain of our Horowhenua 1st XV team. Also recently I had the privilege to Captain the Horowhenua-Kapiti Under 16 Boys Team.

My favourite pass time is attending one of the Local gyms in Levin.

I was born and raised in Australia up until 2020, however the Horowhenua is where my foundations and connections all begun with my Mum and Grandparents being locals to the Horowhenua.

Ko Tararua ngā pae Maunga
Ko Manawatu te Awa
Ko Tainui te Waka
Ko Ngāti Raukawa te Iwi
Ko Ngāti Matau te Hapū
Ko Matau te Marae
Ko Hekenui Tatana - Tapp tōku ingoa
