“Ko taku rongoā ko tōku whānau me te taiao. (My rongoā is my family and nature.)” Tessa Shepherd (Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Hine) is a House Officer (junior doctor) based in Hastings. Becoming a doctor is a huge accomplishment but Tessa says the years studying medicine weren’t always easy. She drew on the support of her whānau and took time out in the taiao to get her through the challenging times 💜 | Hauora Māori
