  Presenter: Kalolaine Taina Tautakitaki

  Family and faith are Taina’s top priorities and much of her weekend is spent at church, where she enjoys the sense of community and the opportunity to sing en masse. Taina lives with her brother and daughter and when she’s in charge of the dinner it’s taro on the menu, boiled to perfection! She enjoys reading in her quiet time and her bible is always close at hand.
