Kia ora I'm Kiri, living on Kabi Kabi Country on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland. He uri ahau nō Kāpiti, kō Te Ātiawa, kō Ngāti Toarangatira, kō Ngāti Raukawa, kō Ngāti Ruanui, kō Ngāi Tahu ōku iwi. I work as a Māori health researcher and evaluator, this mahi brings me home to Aotearoa. I'm committed to tino rangatiratanga both here at home and supporting First Nations Australians in my capacity with the Australian Evaluation Society (AES). I joined the board of the AES in 2017, and have been President for just over one year. I'm a member of Mā Te Rae. Currently completing my PhD with Te Pūtahi a Toi, Massey University exploring contemporary expressions of ūkaipō in nurturing whānau wellbeing through connection to whenua. I'm looking forward to meeting other evaluators at the conference. If you see me, please come and say kia ora.
