Ka noho ahau i raro i te maru o te pae maunga o Kaimai, i te taha o te awa Aongatete,i te rohe o Ngāi Te Rangi  me Ngāti Ranginui. Nō Ingarangi ōku tūpuna. Ko Tāmaki Makaurau te whenua tupu. Nā te Tiriti o Waitangi i whai tūrangawaewae ahau ki Aotearoa.

I have many years’ experience as a tertiary lecturer, teaching communication, social work, education, histories of Aotearoa New Zealand and te Tiriti o Waitangi. These days I live on a farm that looks   out over Tauranga harbour, and work from home as a freelance indexer and proofreader. ​(You can see the view from our home in the photos at the top of these pages!)

"Glenys did an absolutely outstanding job on the index for my academic book. She is thoroughly professional and extremely careful in every aspect of her work. I particularly appreciated her attention to te reo Māori and cross-cultural concepts. I hope to work with Glenys again in the future and would recommend her wholeheartedly to writers of both academic and general works."

"I am thoroughly impressed by your careful eye  and appreciative of the additional checking of details you've done. The notes, whether on capitalizations, conceptual domains of Māori knowledge, or extended commentaries, are astonishing in their conscientious precision."
