Senior Data Analyst - Matatihi - Kaupapa Māori Research & Data Sovereignty

Te Arawa | Tainui | Mātaatua

Corey uses data to uphold kaupapa Māori and support tino rangatiratanga of whānau, hapū, and iwi. His work focuses on kaupapa Māori research, data sovereignty, and the use of analytics to tell stories that strengthen the relationship between people and place.

He has worked across a range of research and technical roles with iwi, research institutes, and environmental organisations - often helping communities engage with monitoring tools, policy processes, and evidence-informed decision making. Whether through dashboards, datasets, or pūrākau, Corey is driven by a belief in making data meaningful and mana-enhancing.
