Braden Fowell has just completed his Bachelor of Science majoring in Psychology with a minor in Māori Studies. He has always had a passion for learning and helping people. He plans to use his studies to bridge the worlds of science and te ao Māori. He is a two-time intern at Mātai and is now looking forward to taking on the challenge in his new role this summer, in particular helping to grow our rangatahi. He is grateful for the opportunity to bring his knowledge back home to Tairāwhiti and make a positive impact for our people.
