Our Team

Our Team

At the Migrant Neuro-Inclusion Network (MINN), our strength lies in our people. We are a Tangata Tiriti-led collective of migrants, advocates, researchers, and lived experience leaders united by a shared vision: an Aotearoa where neurodivergent migrants and their families can thrive.


Our team brings together diverse cultural perspectives, professional expertise, and personal stories that ground our work in empathy, equity, and action. From governance to community engagement, we work collaboratively to create spaces of understanding, belonging, and inclusion, ensuring that no one is left behind.
