Jen Pickering: Taking takaro to the next level

Ngāti Hine Health Trust boasts an abundance of energetic talent and congratulates our ECE programme facilitator, Jen Pickering for her outstanding achievement on and off the sports field!

Jen was the recipient of Te Tohu Kaiwhakahaere at Te Tai Tokerau Māori Sports Awards held on Saturday 4 March at Waitangi Treaty Grounds, hosted by Ngātiwai.

In 2022, she was elected to the Board of Northern Regional Football (Northland & Auckland) and holds a position on the Board as a Far North representative.

Jen is the first member of Paihia Football Club to hold a Board position and the only wāhine Māori Board member.

Jen has done it all, from coaching, managing, administrator, club secretary and player. Mīharo Jen!
