Why Ānaru?
At my previous role we celebrated Te Wiki o te Reo Māori every year. As part of this activity we took it a step further and referred to each other by the Māori translation of our names. I loved it so much and felt it a genuine honour to be called Ānaru everyday (Anndroo 😬) particularly by my Māori colleagues. As a result I sought permission to use Ānaru as a domain name so that I could communicate from the only motu this name exists – Aotearoa – and identify more strongly as pākeha.
Work
If you want to work or collaborate with me, here's how I roll:
- I like contributing, doing meaningful work and delivering value.
- I like being included and valued.
- I am ambitious about the mission, its people and my teams.
- I like being involved in different things using my versatile skills and experience.
- I like learning, solving problems and executing.
- I'm not a big fan of the orthodox or status quo (by nature).
- I can't help but care so heart-lead and often unflinchingly open.
