Huia is driven by a deep interest in conservation, the plight of our native flora and fauna and a desire for people and the environment to always get a fair deal. She tries to learn something new every day and is always up for a good laugh.

She brings knowledge and people together to ensure everyone is heard and the mahi gets done.

• Co-designing solutions with iwi and ensuring there are quality engagement opportunities within central and local government processes
• Statutory process expertise in the conservation space
• Facilitation and relationship building
• Writing and collating high-quality documents such as Cultural Impact Assessments and Iwi Management Plans.
