L'Rey Renata (Ngāpuhi, Tainui, Ngai Te Rangi) is a Māma, Water Engineer, PhD candidate, and Board Member in the engineering industry.

One year into her PhD at Waipapa Taumata Rau, she talks about her thinking of re-defining engineering best practice through an indigenous Te Ao Māori lense, the intention of her findings to be pillar for engineering professionals.

An absolute privilege to record another episode with L'Rey as she discusses her inherent approach of approaching problems holistically for the betterment of te taiao, hauora, and connection to the whenua and bringing everyone along in the journey.
