I studied extramurally with Massey and had some in person sessions as needed, those I studied alongside were lovely people and the tutors were all very knowledgeable and helped me to achieve a great result. Since I graduated, I have worked across different organisations. Firstly for Education New Zealand - a government agency focused on promoting international education. Within that organisation, I worked as a support coordinator within the HR/Operations space, and then moved into the governance team where I became the Board secretary and also supported our communications team with collating newsletter information, website management among other projects, while still focusing on Health and Wellbeing support for the wider organisation. I left there to go to Callaghan Innovation based in Gracefield, Lower Hutt to become an EA to the Director of the redevelopment of the Gracefield Innovation Quarter. I left Callaghan to take on a role that would become like a second home for me, and I am still here now. Vibe - Hutt Valley Youth Health Trust - I work as a Senior Administrator within our Corporate Operations space, focusing on the skills that I learnt from my studies at Massey. A chance to focus on my skills in HR, Operations, IT, website management and with it more opportunities to further challenge me through various projects and other types of work that sit outside of my usual role. Not only have I developed and built good systems and processes, but I have also become part of something special, working for a place that has meaning and good intent to support the youth of the Hutt Valley through the services that we provide, be it free health care, social assistance support, mental health and addiction support

My time at Massey was rewarding and challenging. I made plenty of new friends, worked on a multitude of different projects and I understood more about my own creative processes. Since then, I have been collaborating with a friend to develop our own projects and we are working on establishing our own game studio to follow our dreams and create mesmerizing stories!

I've used my diploma within my work only recently! I did a workshop and it directly related to part of one of the papers I did in relation to bias. It was really helpful already having that knowledge and being able to build further on it easy enough and ask the right questions!

Massey gave me an experience to combine and integrate different forms of creativity which led me to experience a bunch of different career options after graduation. I've had experience working in performing arts, tutoring, running my own small business to also unleashing my inner creative intuition as a stylist, makeup and skincare host. I am still enjoying a bunch of different creative directions and keen to see what lies ahead.

After working as a social worker in health and mental health, I moved to working for a large local government organization as a staff welfare officer. After that I set up my own private practice. People Skills Consulting. I provide supervision, coaching, facilitation and training. I developed my practice as a Restorative Justice facilitator and completed training as a mediator. I also developed an interest in support parents to raise resilient children and now have a podcast Resilient Kids. My most recent project is co-facilitating a workshop called "Waking Up to Whiteness, identity matters, not another course on culture" which I think all of us as tauiwi would benefit from attending.

I absolutely loved my course! It was hands on from the get go and stuffed with practical tips to get my journalism career started. Since graduating, I have been employed as a reporter at the Wairarapa Times-Age and absolutely loving it. Journalism is not a secure career, and we are under pressure what with the public's falling trust in news media. But I believe what I do is more important than ever, and that I have probably the best job in the world!
