BSc(Hons) PhD
I am the Unit Co-director, as well as a Professor of Māori Health. I am also the Associate Dean Māori for the Division of Health Sciences. I was the Co-Deputy Director of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, New Zealand's Māori Centre of Research Excellence (CoRE) from 2016-2018. I have a background in Māori medical genetics and have worked in the Unit for over 15 years. During this time, the majority of my research has focused on injury and disability outcomes for Māori, as a Co-Investigator and Principal Investigator on a number of injury and disability research projects. I am committed to understanding and improving Māori health outcomes, particularly within the Ngāi Tahu takiwā and Southern New Zealand.

I am a doctor who is a specialist in general practice and public health medicine and I have been working as a researcher for over 25 years. My research interests include inequities in health, health services research, quality of care, and child and youth health. Much of my work involves identifying where and how inequities in our health occur, and in testing ways to eliminatethese inequities. I'm an active member of my Rūnaka and in my spare time I like to exercise—I'm a CrossFit person at the moment!
