VUW Women in Tech Profiles

I enjoy being in the office, but sometimes, when life gets in the way, there's the flexibility of working from home. So that has helped a lot, especially being a Pacific person who constantly juggles many things, such as caring for my parents or having even to do school pickups.

Internships are a great opportunity to not only gain some work experience, but also get a sense of whether you will go down that career path. You never know until you try!

I joined the program in February 2021, I spent 8 months including rotations before graduating as an Associate Developer – I’m still here and loving it!

You must learn to not plan too much for the day ahead, the work is fast-paced and constantly changing.

The across-the-board culture of positive communication was constantly evident. Throughout the process, the next steps and timelines were conveyed quickly. I always had the impression that my time and effort were respected.

When you find an organisation with a culture that resonates with your own values, that’s a special thing.
