In 2016 Tina created a music workshop for New Zealand Prisons. Her workshop'The Power of Song' continues and features her own message based songs raising awareness of domestic and family violence.

In 2017 Tina released her original 'Another Little One', sadly inspired be the death of 3 year old Moko Rangitoheriri. This song and all funds raised were gifted to 'Shine', anti domestic violence charity organisation.

In 2017, Tina also became Wing Patron 309 for New Zealand Police recruits, Wing 309.

Tina continues to perform alongside Jackie Clarke and Suzanne Lynch in their group 'The Lady Killers'. In her spare time she also love to sing with 'Nga Pirihimana O Tāmaki Makaurau' ( Counties Manukau Police Choir ).

@Cross.sullivan: Hello Tina, we were in contact on the Teahouse regarding Categories. I noticed you've added extra details to the page about yourself, which can be helpful for basic information and fact-checking but is strongly discouraged for the article as a whole. We recognise of course that you may have useful info to add, but Wikipedia strives to remain neutral and does not allow self-promotional articles. It cannot be "your" page. Accordingly there are strict policies about editing an article about yourself which I encourage you to read. There are further guidelines about editing articles with which you have a direct involvement, and more generally about all Biographies of Living Persons. The first rule is that all articles need to be based on verifiable, external sources, such as reliable print or online media and so on. Also articles are required to meet guidelines of notability. These are the principal reasons I have removed the text above. FrankP (talk) 23:20, 25 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to reply to me here -- just edit this page the way you would an article (it's usual to indent replies using increasing numbers of colons or asterisks at the start of the line).
