<p>I am currently in my last year at Waipapa Taumata Rau &ndash; The University of Auckland, studying towards a Bachelor of Science (Psychology). Next year, I intend to continue into postgraduate studies. My career intention is to become a Clinical Psychologist, incorporating M&#257;tauranga M&#257;ori and Pasifika values into therapy for M&#257;ori and Pasifika rangatahi.</p>

<p>I believe that my own ethnically diverse background, mixed with that of my hometown, South Auckland, has allowed me to recognise the increase in productivity when we apply a range of cross-cultural, M&#257;ori and Indigenous knowledges to any kaupapa.</p>

<p>I am incredibly honoured to be the 2022 Winter Student for Whakauae Research Services. Working under Dr. Tanya Allport, I will be completing a literature review that includes an annotated bibliography and a thematic analysis within a written review. This literature review will contribute to a project titled &ldquo;<em>Capacity and capability building of the M&#257;ori research workforce</em>&rdquo;.</p>
