Renée is a playwright, fiction and non-fiction writer, mentor and teacher who has published novels, plays and one short-story collection. In 2013 she was awarded the Kingi Ihaka Award in recognition of a lifetime contribution to Ngā Toi Māori, and in 2015 she received the New Zealand Screenwriters Guild Mentorship Award for her teaching and mentoring of both aspiring and experienced writers. Renée is writing her life story as a piece of crazy patchwork.
