Ko Te Aotahi Scott tōku ingoa. He uri ahau nō Tainui, Ngāti Porou me Ngāti Hinerangi.

Kia ora! I’m Te Aotahi, also known as Tee, and I’m the Events & Community Manager (Maternity Leave Cover) here at Whāriki Tāmaki Makaurau. I’m a proud Coastie from Wharekāhika on the East Coast, and also whakapapa back to Ngāruawāhia and Okauia in the mighty Waikato.

As a small business owner myself, I know how multi-faceted running a business can be. Which is why I’m so stoked to be a part of the Whāriki team to help other pakihi Māori thrive. With my diverse background in radio, teaching and events, I bring my mātauranga and passion for people to support our community to succeed. Because when one wins, we all win. He waka eke noa!

I look forward to engaging with you at one of our events or via our online community platform – Te Hapori o Whāriki. Mauri ora!
