VUW Women in Tech Profiles

I never thought I'd work at a household name like Unilever – from growing up with brands like Paddle Pop and Dove to now contributing to their success, it truly feels that life has come full circle.

The coolest thing about this job is the real-life experience. For me is it not a specific task that I have enjoyed the most, it is the new sense of professionalism I have gained.

A key long-term goal I aim to achieve is to see a product on shelf that I saw through from ideation to commercialisation. 

I love seeing campaigns come to life – through the creative process, filming on set or through new product presentations.

As an analyst I am responsible for being a jack-of-all-trades and supporting senior staff with the finer details of business delivery.

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.
