During my years of study, I also applied to become a Pasifika Student Ambassador. As experienced students of Victoria University, we were the face of the university when welcoming new students to the campus and helping them adapt to this new environment through tours around the campus and guiding them through the Uni lifestyle. There were also special Pasifika events throughout the year that required Student Ambassadors to help out through hospitality, catering, etc.

I worked within the vegetable section called Bidfresh as a packer. During my time working there, it allowed me to work in a fast-paced environment to complete orders before they are sent away to consumers.

This was a one-week work experience that was provided by my Gateway course through Saint Patrick's Town, allowing me to understand what career pathways I want to pursue.
