Kaiaarahi Pakihi - Tessa Flowers

Kia hiwa ra, kia hiwa ra! We are thrilled to introduce Tessa, a wahine toa who balances the roles of being a Māmā, a successful entrepreneur, and now a Tipu Ake Tonu Kaiārahi Pakihi (Business Advisor). With four beautiful tamariki, she understands the joys and challenges of being a Māmā first-hand, shaping her approach to whānau life and her professional endeavours.

As the owner of three thriving pakihi in the childcare and education sector, Tessa has impacted the lives of many tamariki and whānau in the community. She has built a reputation for excellence with a dedicated team, providing top-notch childcare and innovative educational programmes. Her entrepreneurial journey has been characterised by collaboration and teamwork, as she recognises the value of working with talented people to bring a vision to life. 

Now, Tessa is embarking on a new chapter as a Kaiārahi Pakihi. Leveraging her entrepreneurial experience and success, she is passionate about helping whānau achieve their business goals and aspirations. With her deep understanding of owning and running a pakihi, she provides invaluable guidance for whānau, sharing strategies for growth, operational efficiency, and building successful teams.

As a Kaiārahi Pakihi, she dedicates her time and expertise to empowering others, ensuring that they, too, can create thriving enterprises across several sectors. Her journey is a testament to the power of collaboration, determination, and the desire to give back to the community.
