Jesamine Te Huia

"Trustworthy, respectful, reliabale"

"With her professionalism and guidance, Jesamine has encouraged me to pursue excellence in my future career pathways while reinforcing the importance of cultural identity. Her advice and knowledge have helped upskill me in ways that I value deeply, particularly as a young Māori wahine. Jesamine sets high standards and provides strong support for rangatahi to achieve their goals. She is someone I greatly respect and trust."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Jasamin Te Huia since 2010 through our professional educational connections within the Hawke’s Bay secondary schooling sector, including our shared involvement within the Te Mātau o Maui Māori Secondary Teachers Association through her position at Flaxmere College. Over this time, I have observed her commitment to tauira, whānau, kaupapa Māori education, and community wellbeing."

"Jes is highly professional in the way she carries herself, with a strong work ethic, excellent attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to doing her work to a high standard. She puts a great deal of care and pride into what she does, always ensuring things are done thoroughly, thoughtfully, and with integrity. Her passion for helping others shines through in everything she does, especially in the way she uplifts and supports people through her knowledge, compassion, and dedication to making a positive difference. She also has a deep connection to Te Ao Māori, which is reflected in her values, the way she carries herself, and the meaningful approach she brings to both her work and relationships. Above all, her whānau means everything to her, and the love, care, and commitment she has for her family are at the heart of who she is."
