Morgan Coates – Operations Support

Morgan Coates (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Hine, Ngāti Pākehā), is originally from Kawerau, but grew up in Tauranga Moana. Before joining SociaLink she had a couple of years’ experience within the industry, working for a local hauora as their marketing and administration assistant. She’s continuing her studies working towards a Bachelor of Humanities with a major in policy through Te Whare Wāngana o Awanuiārangi. Outside work Morgan enjoys sharing kai with family and friends, and loves a good walk around the Mount or the Waikareao on a nice day.

“I know how important and necessary the social sector is, so beyond developing and expanding my own operational and admin skills, I am really keen to learn more about the sector itself, how it works, how it’s changing and what’s out there in terms of services and support for our whānau and community.”
