VUW Women in Tech Profiles

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.

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

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

Making the customer feel comfortable and giving good suggestions to them if something went wrong and working along with them to correct things will make me think I am doing my role in the right way.

In my current role, I get to shape other people’s careers, I love delivering the good news that people have got the job, I feel like it really makes their day, and it makes my day,

I applied to a program called Tuputoa which offers Māori and Pacific Island students internships in the summer which landed me an interview with Deloitte. Since then, I received an offer as a graduate and have now been at Deloitte for 6 months and am loving every second of it.
