Ko Theresa Ngamoki ahau.
I divide my time between Omaio on the beautiful coastline of Te Whānau-ā-Apanui and in Whakatāne where I am based for work.
We recently lived in Tauranga Moana for the past decade where we have been blessed by making many great connections.
I am married to a Primary school teacher. We have five daughters, three sons-in-law and three mokopuna. My coastie upbringing was awesome, outdoors and marae/hapu centred. This has shaped me into a resilient, hardworking and determined person. Not all whānau are in the position to offer the best experiences of Aotearoa to the same degree. I will bring 30 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and the past three as a Nurse Practitioner. I am interested in many areas of health but in particular Māori health, the rural sector, the deaf community and underrepresented populations.
