How would you describe your childhood?
I grew up in Lynfield with my mother and late grandmother. Growing up in a household of three generations of amazing women was by far the best gift anyone could have. My late grandmother was a wonderful storyteller, who often spoke of life in Samoa and the traditional values of faith and family.
What was the best piece of advice you've received?
One of my good friends, a lecturer, said to our class, "Challenge the textbook, challenge the findings and challenge the readings. Apply that to life to seek answers." That advice was music to my ears as I felt I had found another person who had just granted me permission to seek choice in life.
