VUW Women in Tech Profiles

A high effort grade is more important than an A+.

I cannot wait to finish my final year and begin exploring exactly what field will fit me best.

Celebrate the small wins: staying positive and focussing on the little things improves your mood and keeps you motivated.

I wanted a more "hands on" approach to help people which is why I decided to do my post grad in counselling.

I have enjoyed mixing with other people researching wildlife.

Ryman’s programme was also the most appealing because I could see different ways where I could utilise all areas of my study, which was hugely appealing.

I love seeing a novel idea turn from science-fiction into reality. There are very intelligent researchers working tirelessly on concepts that may or may not be successful, and it’s such a privilege to bring their work to clinicians where it can change the lives of patients.

I love the opportunities that we have been given. I feel like the grads aren’t just a tick of the box kind of thing and we’re actually really valued.
