Meet Karla!

Karla is our newest TAT Team member!

Working as one of our Healthy Lifestyles Advisors in our Island Wellness team, Karla works closely with our community to provide motivational support to benefit clients physically, mentally and emotionally.

Born and raised in Auckland, Karla moved to Ōtautahi in 2020 to study a Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management at Lincoln University where she had her first encounter with Tangata Atumotu. 

"I was fortunate to come across TAT resources during my studies. When I had COVID-19 I received support from TAT in the form of an Isolation Care package and it helped a lot." 

Karla wants to support our community to thrive and allow our clients to spend more time with their loved ones doing what they love. 

Growing up with our community, Karla knew that TAT would be a good fit for her. 

"I grew up surrounded by sport and big families, I knew I would feel at home working for a Pacific organisation like TAT. I love being a part of the community we support.” 

When she’s not supporting clients to reach their goals, you'll find Karla training for rugby or hanging out with her friends and family.
