Ara Taiohi

I believe teamwork is key to success. I have held multiple responsibilities in my church in New Zealand, Australia, and Samoa. I have been a leader in the Women’s Organization (R/S), a Youth Leader, and a Seminary & Institute Coordinator for ages 14 to 30, as well as a Sunday School teacher for adults. I am currently serving in a leadership calling in our church as a Stake Self-Reliance Specialist here in New Zealand. In these roles, as well as in my previous jobs, I have gained leadership opportunities, organizational skills and experience in facilitating religious education for all age groups, from children to youth and adults. I am a firm believer that it takes a village to raise a child, and I take pride in my ability to build and sustain relationships with colleagues, parents, and the community. I would like to share this Samoan quote: "O LE ALA I LE PULE O LE TAUTUA."
