Angela Moananu
NURSE PRACTITIONER
Weds, Thurs & Fri: 8.40am - 4.20pm
I am full Samoan but have grown up in South Auckland my whole life. I have been nursing for 4 years and have found a special interest in young people, and Maori/Pacific health. My goal as a nurse is to be able to breakdown barriers that hold people back from the quality of healthcare they deserve.
My interests include travel, going to the gym, watching the rugby and hanging out with friends and whanau. Whanau is the most important thing to me - they have taught me to use the power that I have to best help people.
