Celebrated 41 years around the sun with family, friends and good food, today!

Rest in love my beautiful friend. We celebrate you every day. ❤️

Another glorious Auckland day, took advantage of the late summer weather to do the Hunua loop with the girlies and Jinkxy! I love this for me! And what a beautiful country!

One last road trip before going back to work!

And just like that, my annual leave comes to an end and I have to return to the real world on Monday. Well, let's go 2025 lmao

With everything going on in our country right now, we need joy, expressions and affirmations of who we are and who we want to be, more now than ever.

Got to attend the premiere of Tinā tonight at the Civic and the standing ovation from the crowd said it all.

Beautiful film with tons of hearty laughs and poignant moments. Not a dry eye in the house. Highly recommend!

Haha sure thing, email me the CFP and I'll pass it along our networks!

*no longer

Spent the past 3 days with our Pacific Early Career Academics Network (although I'm not longer early career lol) at UoA at an amazing retreat filled with fellowship and lots of catching up on emails lol. 2025 has started off so well! Here's to a better year for us all.

Casually living my best life in Samoa and telling people to get out of my light and videos lol

Sunset dreams in my beautiful Samoa 🇼🇸

Debuted my new military style haircut at the beach in Samoa today 😎 love being home for a break and hanging with some friends 🧡

Beautiful Samoa 🇼🇸

Morning from a steamy Samoa, happy to be home for a week. Thank goodness the rain has paused so our mountain can come back into view.

Also, for anyone interested, my PhD is officially available online 🤗

Sighted in the wild while walking through Ponsonby this evening.

A fave thing to do in summer is to take advantage of the numerous bush walks in and around Auckland 😍 another gorgeous day in the 09.

Beautiful day in Tāmaki today. Jinkx and I took a walk down to Westhaven Marina and took in the Waitemata Harbour views. Lovely when Auckland is like this.

Happy New Year from my house to those who celebrate.

But simultaneously annoying b/c how am I gonna record the fireworks and be on FaceTime at the same time? Lolol yes, there's a way but I'm too tired to work it out 🤣

I'm like, can you tell your daughter to take you to watch the fireworks somewhere in that country?? Lol

My mum's still in England and she insists on video calling me just before midnight so she can watch the Sky Tower fireworks from my phone. Lady, do you realize I wanna go sleep already 😴

Happy new year love! Be good to catch up in 2025! Xx

Happy New Year love, hope to hang in the new year! Xx

It's already getting loud from the street, am I able to call noise control on the whole city tonight? 🤣

I'm all showered and in my PJs and falling asleep, can I make it to midnight? Let me go make a cup of tea. Lol

Not long to go before fireworks and drunkeness takes over my doorstep lmao Happy New Year to those who celebrate.

Merry Christmas Tāmaki Makaurau, from me and my nephew, baby Iverson the latest addition to our family, the youngest member of our clan with the cutest smile!

Lordt I love Auckland City when ya'll are all gone and it's a hot sunny day like today. Long may it last lol
