Nadia Parker
Te Kura Hauora Manager
I am of Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Whātua descent and was raised in the Hokianga, where I remain deeply connected to my whānau and community. My upbringing in the Hokianga has strongly shaped who I am and the values I carry into my work.
I have a strong passion for working with our people, particularly within workforce development, education, and mental health iwi services. I am committed to supporting whānau to build confidence, capability, and pathways toward wellbeing, learning, and meaningful opportunities.
My work is grounded in kaupapa Māori, relationships, and a genuine desire to see our people thrive. I am motivated by connection, service, and creating spaces where Māori feel supported, valued, and empowered
