Ara Taiohi

Tēnā katoa koutou!
He uri nō Te Awa Tupua, Hokianga, Te Āitanga a Mahaki me Cornwall hoki. Ko Maarie Mareikura-Ellery tōku ingoa.

Whats good e te iwi. I’m Maarie, a proud young Māori wāhine who has lots of aroha for rangatahi and hauora. I have been in the youth world since I was 19, started off in Alternative Education and have had the privilege to be apart of the Mana Taiohi journey.  

I’ve been facilitating Mana Taiohi for 2+ years now and have had experience facilitating to Rangatahi, kaiako, boards, SLT’s, community spaces! I take an inclusive, youthful, wānanga style approach to facilitation and love to add some fun in there and always bring my whakapapa into the places I get to be 😊

Mauri ora!
