Kia ora koutou!

I tipu ake au ki Hurunui i raro i te korowai o Ngāi Tahu. I tipu ake au i raro i te maru o te maunga o Isobel i te taha o te awa o Waiau Uwha. E mihi ana au ki ngā tohu o nehe o Waitaha e noho nei au. Ko Hope tōku ingoa.

I am stoked to be your Marketing and Creative Director on the 2025 Lads Without Labels Exec Team. As the Marketing and Creative Director, I'll be helping with making sure the communications and content of kaupapa get shared and help let you know what Lads without Labels is all about and what we have happening throughout the year.

Although I am local to Ōtautahi, I grew up mainly in the small town of Hanmer Springs. I am grateful to have grown up in Te Waipounamu with such an incredible backyard at my doorstep, and in my spare time, you can find me at the beach, walking my golden retriever, trying out a new cafe, or at church.

I am in my final year of university studying towards a Bachelor of Arts specialising in Society, Diversity and Change.I love being a part of Lads Without Labels as I am passionate about the mental health space in Aotearoa and creating meaningful and lasting change. Hope to see you at one of our events, where you'll most likely see me with my phone or camera on hand!
