Ko Erina Korohina ahau

Erina has been working as a public health practitioner since graduating with a BSc in Human Nutrition in 2006.

Nine of those years were spent living in Tai Tokerau supporting the workforce development of the Māori nutrition and physical activity kaimahi as well as working in grassroots community development programmes.

More recently she has been working as a kaiārahi nutritionist with the national Māori nutrition and physical activity organisation - Toi Tangata. 

In 2018 she was awarded the Heart Foundation Māori Cardiovascular Fellowship.

Erina and her family enjoy heading down the coast to connect with whānau and whenua. She is passionate about learning more about sustainable living practices and systems such as maramataka so she can work with her whānau to redevelop their papakainga.
