However, because I became a Judge only a matter of weeks ago, I do not yet have many stories to share with you about my new job. Unfortunately, that means part of this speech will have to be about me, so I also want to talk about my time here at this whare wananga and some personal learnings through my career that I hope will be useful as you all embark on yours.
