Itāria brings well-grounded values which are fundamental to our mahi. Her schooling included that of Kohanga Reo, Kura Kaupapa Māori and Kura Tūtahi which has further contributed to her knowledge and understanding of Te Ao Māori. Her ability to couple these skills with that of a corporate space is one of Itaria’s many strengths.
