Kurupo has 'lived experience' that can’t be qualified or put on paper and; an inner understanding to our people and the struggles we endure as Māori. He is a lighthouse for those in Te Pō.

What Kurupo likes the most about his role is his Team.

Kurupo’s interests are wānanga, self-development and learning his whakapapa.

His greatest achievement is finding himself in Te Ao Māori.
