I fell out of a Mango tree
in Zambia when I was 7 and broke my arm. The nurses were beautiful and caring. I knew from that moment I wanted to become one.

I saw World Vision ads on TV
and wanted to help children.
I’ve worked in the Australian outback, Tibetan refugee camps, and now I’m in New Plymouth!

One of my cousins has cerebral palsy. From a young age I felt the need to care for people like him.
Caring comes natural for Maori. Whanau is all about caring for each other, for our elders. I love to help people who need help.

When I was little, my grandad had a heart attack. I visited him in hospital and stuck plasters all over him to make him better. I told him, ’I’m your nurse!’
Looking after people is second nature.

Caring for people definitely runs in my family.
Mum cares for patients.
My sister is a nurse, like me.
We just love helping people.

My ma’s a nurse. She always said:
‘Looking

is like looking
after family’

My grandma was a Major in the Medical Corps in World War Two.
Her mum was a nurse, and I knew I wanted to follow in their footsteps since I was 13.

When I was little, my brother had his appendix removed.
Soon after, I performed my first operation.
I help fix people's bodies in my worktime.
And car bodies in my spare time.
