I am the daughter of Hera (aka Sara) Paul and Keith Payne. I spent most of my childhood back in the beautiful rohe of Whangaroa, following my grandmother Parani (aka Fanny) Toetoe around Pupuke. Our Marae was a big part of my whanau life, spent most of my Christmas holiday back home. After been away from home for a while, I too now find myself returning to my beginnings, thankful to our home whanau who have kept the fires burning. There is much work to be done and I am here to help however I can. Kia Kaha kia maia kia manawanui.
