Moana Potaka

Ko Te Arawa māngai nui ūpoko tū takitahi.

Ko Ngōngōtaha me Otawa āku maunga

Ko Te-Rotoruanui-a-Kahumatamomoe tōku roto

Ko Te Utuhina me Te-Raparapa-a-hoe ōku awa

Ko Tunohopu me Hei ōku arae

Ko Ngāti Whakaue me Waitaha ōku iwi

Ko Te Arawa tōku waka

Ka tangi a Tūkaiāia kei te moana, ko Ngātiwai kei te moana e haere ana. Ka tangi a Tūkaiāia kei tuawhenua, ko Ngatiwai kei tuawhenua e haere ana.

 

Ko Pitokuku tōku maunga

Ko Oriwa tōku awa

Ko Whakapoumahara me Rangiwhakāhu oku marae

Ko Te Akitai tōku hapū

Ko Ngātiwai tōku iwi

Ko Māhuhu-ki-te-rangi tōku waka

Moana Potaka is HUMANS:CONNECTING's Business Manager, a tertiary graduate, Practice Manager for landscape architecture firm Wayfinder, a Māori Women’s Welfare League life member, but most importantly, she is a granddaughter, a daughter, a sister and an aunty. 

Moana believes that business for good is good business. She delights in working with great humans with excellent ideas and leaving people better than when she found them.

 

Outside of mahi, Moana can be found chasing music gigs, learning te reo Māori, and organising social events with her local geek community.

Kua haere mai nei ki tenei wa. Ka nui te hari mo to koutou manawanui ki te hapai i ngā kaupapa. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

Recognising First Nations peoples and cultures is important to us.
We acknowledge the First Nations people as the traditional custodians of the lands upon which we work and live. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and connections to land, water and community. We pay respect to the Elders of the Ngunnawal, Turrbal, Kulin and Gadigal Nations past and present. Always was, always will be.

We acknowledge Māori as tangata whenua and Treaty of Waitangi partners in Aotearoa New Zealand. We pay respects to Māori as the mana whenua of Aotearoa New Zealand. 

We warmly welcome all humans of all backgrounds and identities engaging with this work. We see you because we are you. We're proud of you.
