Patrice loves that she is able to help our kaumatua and wider whānau out in the community.

When Patrice was asked if she had a message for our community her reply was, "my message would be not to ever feel whakamā. I am here to help and to implement what I can to ensure positive health and social outcomes for our kaumatua and whānau. I feel it’s an absolute privilege to be helping our people in the community".

Outside of mahi Patrice enjoys her whānau/aiga - they are everything to her. In their spare time they spend it together at the beach, in the garden, exploring our beautiful backyard in New Zealand all whilst making memories together.  

Patrice spends a lot of time in the kitchen cooking and baking; and she loves reading, gardening and exercising.  

When Patrice was asked what her greatest achievement in life was so far, her reply was, "my child. Raising her to be the best version of herself. Watching her grow and thrive with a positive attitude ready to tackle whatever life throws at us".

Patrice completed Business Administration Studies (Level 1 & 2) and a National Certificate in New Zealand Sign Language (Level 1, 2 & 3).
