She explained her heritage in Maori, telling us that her roots were in England, Ireland, Scotland and Norway although she was born and bred in Porirua East and has a very strong connection to the community. Tania lives in Plimmerton with her film-maker and fireman husband, Tony, and their son, Theo. Her working background is immense and varied both in New Zealand and internationally with a theme of service and creating value, mainly within the public service. And she's experienced long travels too, as far afield as to a Film Festival in the Arctic Circle, the pyramids in Egypt and the west coast of America. What an asset Tania is to our Rotary family.
