12 Years of Business development experience. 9 Years experience in Tertiary education.

I currently wear many hats in my professional space - Working at Ara as an Advisor for it’s Pacific Strategy and its implementation, Co - Owner of Kiwistyle Kickboxing New Brighton, Co - Owner of SamSefa Radio, Co - founder of Moana Community Trust and Co - director for the Pacific Business Colective. I have a degree from the University of Canterby in Theatre and Film and speaking to me you will quickly discover that Im a film junkie.

My passion for working in this space is to see Pacific people become rich… rich in money, rich in knowledge and rich in health. I believe this is achievable through connecting with like - minded people, sharing experiences and taking risks. I am passionate about my faith in God, my family, friends, rugby and of course Dragon Ball Z.

5 years employed in Project Management (residential building & construction). 8 years as a Financial Adviser (2 years self-employed contractor, half a year as an employee and 6 years own company, Moana Mortgages+ (current)). Co-Founded a charity, the Moana Community Trust, with Sefa in 2021 to work on financial capability and youth employment. Co-Founded the group, the Pacific Financial Affairs Collective (PFAC), in 2025 which is a grouping of Pacific Financial Advisers, Financial Mentors, Accountants and Bankers.

Working as a Financial Adviser has made me realise the importance financial literacy plays for Kiwis in general but especially for our Pacific People. My passion is to see as many Pacific People into their own homes as I felt inspired hearing Sir Jerry Mateparae speak at the launch of Community Housing Trust in 2014: “Every Kiwi deserves their own turangawaewae - their own place to stand tall.”
