Aroha Hathaway is a dynamic young woman with a multitude of experience in varying fields. With a deep passion for inter-acting with people, her knack for socialising is infectious and people warm to her for her bubbly personality and genuine enthusiasm for life.

Whilst at high school, Aroha travelled with the AFS exchange programme to Brazil – a highlight and turning point in her life – that she backed up by graduating from her high school at the top of her class. It was also during this time that she was first introduced to the diverse and fascinating world of radio. She attended Victoria University where she studied Law, Māori Politics and English Literature.

She then went on to spend time in the education system as a tutor and teacher aid in between Law and Broadcasting. Broadcasting is where she has made an impact in various roles and has also trained new staff joining The Radio Network.

She brought this valuable experience along with her personality to her role as an ‘Aunty’ on the Māori Television series Ask Your Auntie.

Aroha now works as a Presenter on the Good Morning Show, Marae DIY, ZM and Radio Waatea.
