Hera Murray
Registered Nurse and Researcher

Of Whakatōhea, Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Porou descent, Hera grew up in Tauranga Moana.

Hera is a registered nurse with a background of working on a busy medical ward with additional training in Diabetes education.

Seeking a more balanced lifestyle with her whānau, Hera now coordinates the BioMACs research programme here at the Centre. The project aims to gain a better understanding of heart function following an acute coronary event.

Currently residing on Matakana Island with her husband and three children, Hera's journey to work is at the mercy of the weather, tides and the whim of her small boat!
