Meet Tarisi, our dedicated Kahukura at Te Hiku Connect. With a strong background in social services and disability advocacy, Tarisi brings heart, experience, and a deep commitment to the wellbeing of our community. She’s passionate about ensuring whānau can access the support, resources and services they need. Before joining us, Tarisi worked as a Welfare Officer in Fiji, supporting people living with disabilities across rural and urban districts. Tarisi’s calm, kind nature and professional experience make her a trusted guide for those navigating complex systems. What she loves most about her role is building strong, supportive relationships and helping people feel seen, heard, and empowered. If Tarisi’s not at the office, she’s most likely spending quality time with her whānau or cooking up a delicious feed.
