Greetings My name is Ngaroma Williams I have connections to all of Te Arawa people from Maketū to Tongariro. I am also connected to Ngāti Raukawa ki Wharepūhunga and Ngāti Awa. I work in the education space within New Zealand’s University in the School of Teacher Education. Integral to my work is weaving our Māori culture, language and identity into our teaching contexts, curriculum, and practices. I was fortunate enough to have been raised by my people within our own language, culture, and ways of doing. I am currently a Senior Lecturer (Early Childhood education, Primary education, Māori Education) within the School of Teacher Education at the University of Canterbury. I am passionate about Māori educational priorities and OMEP is one such catalyst to support the growth of our tamariki to become tomorrow’s leaders of our country. Marianne Keyes
