Prosple New Zealand/GradNewZealand Profiles

I love seeing rangatahi Māori feeling successful knowing the reo of their tipuna.

I have been so lucky in my education throughout my life. Without it I would be a completely different person, and seeing such a concrete (sometimes literally) symbol of access to education for someone is genuinely wonderful to me.

Being a Science major, almost all of the technical things I worked on were new to me. Kami has some really dedicated and kind employees who are ready to help whenever you’re stuck or have questions.

There was such a diversity of experiences and knowledge in my cohort. It really did feel like the whakataukī: mā pango, mā whero, ka oti te mahi - nāku te rourou, nāu te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi!

Providing answers and ways to get students in is rewarding.

At its core all my work is about making a difference for people. As an added bonus, every now and then you find yourself in a meeting with a bunch of really amazing people all trying to make things better.

I like to think I’m doing my small part in giving these students the tools that they need to really go for these jobs (S.T.E.M), these careers.
