Estefania 'Stef' Muller-Pallares COMMITTEE MEMBER

Born and raised in Whangaparāoa, I am committed to contributing to our local community and helping build the Aotearoa that I would like to see in the future. My mahi includes roles with several local environmental groups and community organisations, where I have worked closely with the Marae. Part of my work is to continue to foster these relationships. I began my reo Māori studies in 2016 and have completed three years of language studies with the marae. The inclusive philosophy that the marae holds is truly a gift to everyone who walks through the tomokanga, and I hope to be a part of the positive impact that this marae will continue to have.
