Te Awa Forrest

If a calm, welcoming and uplifting presence is needed, the team can rely on Te Awa. Open minded and adaptable, Te Awa joined the CI team from Rotorua where she worked in communications, administration and tourism.
Te Awa generously guides the CI whānau on their te ao Māori journey patiently teaching and sharing her insights. She is thorough, capable and always ready to learn and add to her skillset and knowledge.

She approaches every challenge as an opportunity to grow both professionally and personally.
