No Horowhenua ahau ināianei e noho ana ahau ki Tāmaki Makaurau.
No reira, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou katoa
My goal is to combine my marketing business experience, and knowledge of te ao Māori to help Māori businesses prosper and thrive. I have worked in marketing management since graduating with a Bachelor of Business Studies from Massey University in the late 1990s. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Māori Knowledge, extramurally through Massey University.
I am grateful for the support I am receiving from Ngāti Apa ki te Rā Tō to achieve my dream to be fluent in te reo Māori.
Arohanui,
Tracey McKay
