Nau mai Sophie

Me he tē! How good to have Sophie Gardiner join Te Kotahi o Te Tauihu.

Sophie is the new Āpihi Whakahaere Mahi (Administrator), after a solid two years organising the crew at Te Pātaka. Nau mai ki te TKOTT whānau Sophie.

Here’s a little more from Sophie ….

Ko Tongariro te maunga

Ko Lake Taupō te awa

Ko Te Arawa te waka

Ko Manunui-a-Ruakapanga te marae

Ko Ngāti Tuwharetoa toku iwi

Ko Ngāti Manunui toku hapu

Ko Netana-Gardiner toku whānau

Kia ora, I’m Sophie.

I’m originally from Ōtautahi but have called Wairau my home since I was 7. Summer is my favourite season! I love to be out in the sun or in the water making the most of the beautiful weather. I have a daughter, 18 months old, who shares my love for nature and teaches me something new every day.
