I am a Pacific feminist development geographer of Cook Island, Niuean and Pakeha descent. I joined the staff in Pacific Studies, Te Wānanga o Waipapa (Maori Studies and Pacific Studies), Faculty of Arts in 2021 after 19 years in Development Studies. My current research projects focus on climate mobility in the Pacific; research methodologies from the Pacific; maternities, menstruation and embodiment in the Pacific; Pacific labour mobility. My research is informed by critical Pacific epistemologies but I have also served on various research assessment panels spanning the full range of science research including the Prime Ministers Chief Science prize from 2020-2024)
