Background:
I grew up in a town called Te Teko which is in the Eastern Bay of Plenty of the North Island in New Zealand. I am affiliated to Ngati Awa, Te Aupouri, Ngati Maniapoto, Taranaki and Ngati Porou iwi. I also have Croatian ancestry on my father's side of the family.
School:
I went to Te Teko Primary School until I was eleven years old. Then my family moved to Edgecumbe, and so I went to Edgecumbe Primary School before attending Edgecumbe College. My favourite subjects at school were Accounting and Physical Education.
Family:
I am the eldest of three siblings. My sister Rawinia is the middle child and my brother Niheta is the youngest in the family. Our parents still live in Edgecumbe. I have one son, Joshua, and am married to Robert Baker, who was born in Lancaster in England, but moved to New Zealand when he was four years old.
Friends:
I have a wide range of friends. Some of these friends are people that I work with. Some friends are people that I used to go to university with in Wellington. Other friends are people that I've met through courses, or because our children play together. I enjoy catching up with friends by going out to dinner, or by doing fun activities together like bush trail walks, going to the movies, or going to the park with our families.
Sports/Hobbies:
I don't play any team sports anymore, although I used to play touch rugby and netball when I was younger. Now I enjoy running, swimming, walking bush trails and cycling. Sometimes I enjoy doing Zumba, and also the odd hand weights session. I really enjoy eating and cooking yummy food.
Responsibilities:
As a parent I have a lot of responsibilities. These include looking after and raising my son. Ensuring that he is well fed, warm, and is exposed to as many learning opportunities as possible. As one of the adults in our household, it is also my responsibility to earn enough money to pay for our living expenses, and also to pay for the bills in the house.
