Kia Ora whanau! Meet Kevin, one of our young Maori pharmacists who resides on the beautiful East Coast! He lives there with his partner Kasey and their  2 boys Mikaele (4) and Mataio (1) .

Kevin is currently working in Gizzy and will be moving to Wellington at the end of November with some mahi lined up at Ngaio Pharmacy.

His partner Kasey is also a pharmacist currently working at Gisborne hospital and will take a rotational job at Wellington hospital .

They don’t spend all their time at mahi though!

“The whole household is crossfit mad and we all (including the kids) get into it… I have a smash out at least once a day. Its a great way to workout”. Here’s some recent pics of them with CrossFit 4010 and CuzFit tops

But that’s not all Kevin does outside of pharmacy work life! He’s also in a band called Phantom Monkeys and also starting up another with a few guys in a new genre so stay tuned!

So there it is whanau – working in pharmacy allows you time to get involved in more than just work….. and it pays OK too!
