Kia ora koutou,

It is my great pleasure to announce that Lani Tukariri has been appointed into the permanent role as our third Kaitakawaenga. Lani will work alongside Lisa and Jemma to support our tauira Māori.

Lani started working at UC as a Library Assistant in July 2022 and is currently back filling part of the Kaitakawaenga Māori role while Jemma is seconded to the NZLPP project. She is also a Kaiāwhina with Te Hapu o Ngāti Wheke.

Lani has an in-depth knowledge of tikanga and Mātauranga Māori and a passion for supporting her community.  She will make a valuable contribution to our Kaitakawaenga team.

We look forward to welcoming Lani into her new role on Monday 27 March.

ngā mihi nui,

Sara
