Presenter Profile - Tina Porou

Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Ngati Rakaipaaka, Rongomaiwahine, Ngāi Tāmanuhiri

Tina has served in a career connecting mātauranga Māori with technical skills in the planning sector to improve the well-being of Te Taiao, whānau, hapū, and iwi.

Tina has been privileged to work with passionate, experienced, and deeply knowledgeable kaitiaki across the country as they seek to uphold their cultural obligations.

This work has centred around, water, lands, tāonga species, climate change, and supporting platforms for mātauranga Māori to transform the relationship that the people of Aotearoa have with the natural world.

As Iwi Māori strive to live in alignment with Te Taiao, they bring that knowledge to their businesses, creating unique solutions that will benefit all of Aotearoa and Tina has been fortunate to work with these communities to share this work with the world.
