Doctoral Candidate Nursing
I am a Māori health professional, registered nurse with extensive experience across clinical, operational, and national roles within Aotearoa health system.
My work spans primary care, regional coordination, and national programme leadership, with a focus on cancer screening, equity, and strengthening whānau access to care. I have worked across the National Cervical Screening Programme, supporting system implementation and stakeholder engagement during the transition to HPV primary screening across Aotearoa.

Across Aotearoa, national cancer screening programmes—breast, bowel, cervical, and emerging areas such as lung screening—aim to save lives through early detection. Yet Māori continue to experience barriers to access, delayed diagnosis, and poorer outcomes. These inequities are not the result of individual behaviour, but of health systems that too often fail to uphold mana, dignity, and cultural safety for whānau.
