Yeah, so what I'm doing now is I'm actually a policy analyst at the Ministry of Health in the 惭腻辞谤颈 Health directorate.

Prior to that I've been working at the DHB, the District Health Board, here in Te Whanganui 膩 Tara,

helping out with the Covid response, and prior to that I was working for my iwi in the Covid response.

Yeah so, for the iwi I was working with our wh膩nau on Covid vaccinations and working in our

healthcare centres.

My job was mainly to provide advice and to work with our clinical staff to make sure that the healthcare that we were providing our iwi was culturally safe and worked for our wh膩nau.

And I was also working with our kaum膩tua and our whanaunga around the p膩 to vaccinate them all against Covid.

Yeah so, who inspired me to pursue science?

A couple of people and my mama was one of them.

So she has been working in the healthcare field for a very long time and I actually grew up in our p膩 with our medical centres running around as a little child talking to the doctors and the nurses.

And I used to always be really fascinated by the mahi that they did.

The second person or people, I should say, that inspired me to pursue science was actually my whanau.

We have a lot of sick wh膩nau around where I live in my p膩 and they really needed... I really wanted to help them in a way so that they could grow old.

And I thought science and pursuing that field would be the best way to do it.

Yeah so, the most rewarding thing I think for me with mahi and to be a 惭腻辞谤颈 in the science field is bringing,.... two things, it's bringing te ao 惭腻辞谤颈 and m膩tauranga 惭腻辞谤颈 into the science field is a big one for me.

I work around a lot of people who want that for our people and I think that's and I think that's really rewarding.

The second thing is there's so many different opportunities in science.

I'm only 23 and the career opportunities I've had in the science space have been massive.

There are so many different career paths you can go down and there's so many different opportunities and it's a really close-knit group and it's a really supportive environment to be in.

So those would be the two most rewarding things about science, I think.

It would be great for more 惭腻辞谤颈 students to pursue science.

I think it's a field that is really rewarding and it's a field that gives you the opportunity to give back to 惭腻辞谤颈 and to help pursue and to help overcome challenges that Maori often have in the science space.

Whether that be through the medical field or through microbiology, that's quite a common field.

There's so many challenges that 惭腻辞谤颈 have in that space and I think it's really important that

we have more 惭腻辞谤颈 in those spaces to contribute and to bring a 惭腻辞谤颈 voice to the table.

So, and as well as I said science is an extremely rewarding career.

It's something that being 惭腻辞谤颈 I absolutely love science.

I love the opportunities and for me, being in my current space, I still really feel connected and I feel that I can be 惭腻辞谤颈 while working in science.

Oh my favourite M膩ui story... I grew up listening to all of these p奴r膩kau when I was younger.

To be honest my favorite Maui story is probably when M膩ui and his brothers pulled up the North Island.

And I think the reason that that's my favourite M膩ui story is becuse I actually grew up doing a lot of waka ama and I loved going out on the waka.

I loved going out on the waka.

I loved going out into the water.

I feel very at home in our moana and so that story resonates with me, because the boys were out in a waka and they were fishing and that's what I love to do.

So that is that's my favourite story
