Born and raised in Tāmaki Makaurau, Aimee is the product of Kōhanga Reo, Kura Kaupapa and her whānau. If she could describe herself in one word, it would be courageous. She lives and breathes everything hauora and growing up her whānau had her in every sport they could think of. Aimee is a high-performance athlete pursuing a career in sport and hoping one day she can create a pathway for Kura Kaupapa students with the same goal. Thriving in Te Ao Māori, Aimee is constantly surrounded by inspiring Māori who see and want nothing but the best for our people.
