Tu & Wa on the set of Haa












PERSONAL INFORMATION

INTERESTS

My passion for fashion is a driving force in my life. I have experience in sourcing items and products through Sponsorship. Whilst Styling with Haa at MTS I established the relationship with nz based cosmetics company SkinFood.

My experience producing fashion shows has given me the best insight into time management , working to deadlines , priortorising tasks, as well as the ability to source what is required for the project-from Venues and talent to choreography and styling. I have a background in Libraries having been based at Auckland Central Library for 5 years and spent a good part of my time organising significant events, exhibitions and shows. I am currently reading the third book in the Eragon Series by Christopher Paolini.

I am a creative person who enjoys a wide range of extra curricular activities including spending time with friends and Whanau (family). I pursue cooking and entertaining with vigour. I especially enjoy fashion styling, sneakers and playing music as a Dj, I currently host a radioshow on kfmradio.co.nz (thursdays 12-2pm NZT) which is my weekly dose of vinyl mischief. I am also co owner/manager of the retail outlet HAKA, based out of on Auckland. I am of Maori desecent.
