Kia Ora,

Ko Shainia toku ingoa,

I am one of the caregivers in Rata whare. I moved to Tauranga when I was 9 and have called Tauranga home ever since. I am a qualified teacher and have enrolled to study a Masters of social work in 2025. I have a partner and stepson. I enjoy the outdoors and going for walks and spending time with whanau. One of my passions is enabling nga tamariki to embrace their passions and interests and supporting tamariki to thrive.
