Nō Haina me Kōtirana ōku tūpuna. Ko 陳 tōku hapū.

My work with Uru encompasses ecology, design and strategy. I bring to Uru a background in landscape architecture, education and straight up love for people and place. One of my favourite rākau is horoeka; textural, sculptural, iconic, with it's beautiful transformation over the course of it's life.

I started as an Intern for Uru Whakaaro in 2022 and have since moved into a full time role. My role with Uru Whakaaro is to learn and support alongside team members when visiting nurseries, coordinating volunteers, and attending workshops.

My favourite rākau is Kauri, due to their mighty, ancient nature and the important role they play as kōhanga for the tamariki of Tānemāhuta.

My role at Uru currently is Operations Manager, but can easily slot into any role when required to. Love working on the whenua, with my favourite bird being the Kereru for their size and their colours.
