Justin Kurup sees his practice as rooted in the Fijian tradition of gift-giving, and his teaching as an act of service—offering students not only knowledge, but compassion, opportunity, and empowerment. As the leader of a nationally recognized Speech ; Debate program and a dedicated advocate for equity, he creates spaces where students find their voice, build confidence, and realize their potential. His work is a testament to the power of culturally grounded, purpose-driven education to change lives and uplift communities.
