Ko Pirongia te maunga.
Ko Waipā te awa.
Ko Tainui te waka.
Ko Waikato te iwi.
Ko Ngāti Māhanga te hapū.
I whānau mai au ki Ōtautahi.
I tipu ake au ki Te Rae Kura, ā, i kuraina hoki au ki konei.
I a au e tamariki ana, ko Redcliffs Medical Centre tōku whare hauora.
Kua hoki mai au ināianei ki Te Rae Kura, ā, he tino taonga ki ahau te mahi ki konei me te manaaki i te hapori i whakatipu mai i ahau.
Ko Benn tōku hoa rangatira.
Tokorua āku tamariki, he tama rāua.
Ko Erin tōku ingoa.
Nō reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa.
I am the Business & Centre Manager at Redcliffs Medical Centre and have been part of the team since the start of 2023. Working at Redcliffs Medical Centre has a particularly special connection for me. I was born in Christchurch and grew up here in Redcliffs, attending Redcliffs School and Redcliffs Medical Centre as a child. Returning to work in the community that helped shape me has felt very much like coming home, and I feel incredibly fortunate to now play a part in caring for and supporting that same community.
My whakapapa connects me to Waikato, Ngāti Māhanga and Tainui, and I am proud of both these connections and my strong sense of belonging here in Te Rae Kura. Over the past three years, I have become increasingly passionate about ensuring our practice is a place where all patients and whānau feel welcomed, respected and well cared for, and where we continue to improve the accessibility, equity and quality of the care we provide.
I am married to Benn and we have two boys, Grayson and Spencer, who keep life outside work very busy. You'll most likely find us at a playground, bike park or swimming pool, or on the sidelines of one of the boys' latest sporting endeavours.
I am immensely proud of the team we have at Redcliffs Medical Centre and of the care and commitment they show our patients every day. While my role means I may not have the opportunity to meet all of our patients personally, I am always happy to hear from you. If you have feedback, ideas or would like to discuss any aspect of your experience with our practice, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
It is a privilege to work in a community that means so much to me and to contribute to the health and wellbeing of the people who call it home.
