Riha Devendra, Te Hopai's Clinical Team Lead, is representing us at the Aged Care Association (ACA) New Zealand Symposium in July 2025 in Rotorua.
He is one of several speakers at the symposium. In his session, Riha will share his heartfelt journey of resilience from starting anew in a foreign country to finding his true purpose in aged care. He’ll speak with honesty about the challenges of rebuilding his career, the cultural shifts he navigated, and the mentors who ignited his passion for gerontology. His story is a rally for perseverance, reinvention, and the transformative power of empathy. Through his eyes, audiences will see aged care not as an endpoint, but as a calling that demands courage, heart, and an unyielding belief in the value of every life, at every stage.
