Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, ēngari he toa takitini    

“Success is not the work of one, but the work of many” 

Joseph Ross-Ward

2023 Intern

Te Āti Awa

Joseph has a passion for technology and helping those he can. Wanting to apply his skills in a practical way he pursued a degree in Biomedical Engineering which he plans to finish in the next year. Living in Australia, Joseph’s family roots have always grounded him in the (Gisborne) area. Excited by the opportunity to spend quality time back ‘home’ and give back to community, Joseph jumped at the Mātai internship. Always living by “What you put into this world, is what you get back”.
