Mātai Team

Ky (Ngāti Porou) has just completed his first year at the University of Auckland, working toward a Bachelor of Science with a major in Exercise Sciences. He intends to pursue a career in physiotherapy and is committed to bringing his knowledge and skills back to Te Tairāwhiti. Ky is excited to spend the summer at Mātai, seeing it as a valuable chance to engage with and reconnect with his community while gaining practical insight into his future profession. He is very grateful for the opportunity and eager to continue learning, contributing, and building meaningful relationships within Te Tairāwhiti.
