Juanita feels being healthy and safe must be a priority for all whānau members.
Making time for her creativity beyond work is important to Juanita who enjoys cooking, singing/dancing and art-creating. She considers her most significant life achievements are her
formal qualifications, being married, and belonging to her own whānau.
Juanita holds a Teaching Diploma as well as a Visual Arts Diploma.
