I'm Taylor.
(They/them)
I came to Hāpai as an intern in 2021, after collecting 6 years of tertiary study across different health sectors under my belt and finally graduated with a BHSc in Public and Environmental Health. I spent a year working on Smokefree clinical & qualitative research and then rejoined Hāpai Te Hauora as in 2023.
I'm ecstatic to be part of Te Puna Whakamaunu, our blossoming research team, as a conduit between whānau health aspirations and the systems intended to serve them. When I'm not in the office, I run an art account for takatāpui, Māori and disability activism.
