Based in South Auckland, Masina is a passionate advocate and trusted advisor who supports families through her role at Disability Connect. With a strong background in health and previous experience at Kaikaranga (formerly Taikura Trust), she brings cultural depth and genuine warmth to her work—particularly when working alongside Māori and Pasifika communities. A proud mother of seven, Masina draws on her lived experience as a parent to Judge, her young adult son who lives with an intellectual disability and multiple health conditions. This personal journey gives her unique insight into both the challenges and triumphs of disability life.
