I am Anaria Gibbs, a descendant of Rangitīkei, Whanganui and Taranaki regions. I am a veteran, neurodiverse and a proud wāhine Māori.

In my previous careers I have spent 14 years working for Te-Taua-ā-Rangi, the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) in Communications, 2 years with NZ Police in Workforce Management and some time in the tertiary education sector with Ara Institute of Canterbury.
