Nadine lives by a simple, profound truth: Aroha mai, aroha atu—love received demands love returned.
Her superpower? That’s her mana motuhake—her self-determination, her quiet strength to stand tall and chart her own course. A gift she wields with grace and purpose.
When she dreams of the future for our taiao, Nadine sees harmony. She hopes we’ll learn to live alongside the Taiao, not over it—coexisting instead of conquering, preserving instead of breaking. It’s a vision of balance she holds close.
What she loves most about this mahi is the dance between worlds: the office and the taiao. Some days, she’s inside, and some days, her desk is the earth itself—and she relishes that choice. When she decides to work with the land as her workplace, it is a joy that feeds her soul.
That’s Nadine—a woman of lineage and love, leading with mana, dreaming of a taiao where we all belong.
