Andre

Family Support Coordinator – Auckland

Andre is a South Auckland–based Māori and Samoan dance artist who lives in Manurewa with his partner, Ava, and their daughter, Willow-Jack.

Willow-Jack was born 10 weeks premature in September 2025 and spent time in NICU, an experience that deeply shaped Andre and his whānau. Throughout their journey, the support and care from NICU staff and organisations like Little Miracles made a lasting impact.

Grateful for the support they received, Andre feels privileged to now give back and support other families navigating their own NICU journeys. He is passionate about community and is honoured to walk alongside whānau during such an important time.
