As the weekend nears, and the workweek ends, we are so thankful to have been able to celebrate Samoan language week 2026 here at ScreenSouth. To end, we'd love for you to meet one of our newer kaimahi, Christina. She is a walking ray of light and is committed to the meaningful work that her new role entails. Read more below! 🥰😍
"My name is Christina Gaitafili Davison (née Ah-Hi). I was born in Safotu and spent my early years growing up in the village of Auala, Savai’i, before moving to Aotearoa with my family at the age of 11. As the eldest of five children, family, responsibility, and service are values I learned early and continue to carry with me today.
Being Samoan is something I am incredibly proud of. Our culture has taught me the importance of faith, family, respect and caring for others. No matter where life has taken me, those values have remained at the centre of who I am.
For the past 13 years, I dedicated myself to raising my family as a full-time mum after many years in the corporate world. Being a mother to five children has been my greatest privilege and has shaped the way I connect with people, support others, and approach life with resilience and compassion. I recently joined BreastScreen South, where I support the Māori and Pasifika Women’s Portfolio. It is a role that allows me to continue serving my community and contribute to improving health outcomes for Pacific and Māori women.
I believe service doesn’t always happen on a stage or in the spotlight. Sometimes it happens through a conversation, a helping hand or simply showing up for others. For me, that is what tautua looks like and it is a value I hope to pass on to my children and future generations.
Fa’afetai lava ❤️"
Malo lava Christina, we are so happy to have you as a part of the team and thankful for you sharing such a beautiful testament to your life, culture, service and mahi.
