Summary

Kia Ora,


As I finish my second year as a Public Policy and Education student at Te Herenga Waka University, I am seeking a summer internship or full-time position to apply my research, project management, and community engagement skills. With experience as a relief teacher in early childhood education, a volunteer consultant, and a project manager for charities, I have developed strong teamwork, leadership, and communication skills. My casual role with Venues Wellington has further enhanced my understanding of event operations. I am passionate about making a positive impact, driven by my love for the outdoors, and eager to contribute to initiatives that promote community awareness and inclusivity.
