Mita was the first in his whanau to attend university where he studied a Bachelor of Creative Arts, majoring in Performing Arts. Mita has seven years experience working in the youth sector where he incorporated Tikanga Māori and performing arts as a platform to engage with youth at risk, giving them an opportunity to voice their own problems using the arts.

Mita brings this wealth of knowledge into the Te Ao Māori role at Skills Consulting Group.

Mita hails from Tuakau – the heart of Port Waikato in Waikato/Tainui, Te Kawerau a Maki in West Auckland, and Ihumatao.
