Biography
Savannah, or Sav, as everyone knows her is the backbone of the back-office at Kia Ora Hauora.
A member of the team since 2017 working as our national administrator, Sav makes sure all the programme’s pieces work together.
She’s the one on the receiving end of our admin email, but is as committed to “uplifting and up-skilling our whānau Māori to achieve greatness” as our frontline crew and understands the support tauira need to get there. Working directly with tauira and whānau has taught her how important cultural connection is as a health professional and within an equitable health system.
She believes kaupapa Māori programmes are crucial to help tauira reach their full potential.
