Kathie Bahad

I am an enthusiastic and reliable first-year student who enjoys working with others and contributing to a positive team environment. I am eager to always get involved, learn new skills, not afraid to make mistakes and love meeting new people. With a strong work ethic and a positive attitude, I am committed to making a valuable contribution.

• Student volunteer Army 2024 I have been awarded both a member award and a bronze award for my hours volunteering in the community.
• Dance competition (best costume & promotional video award) 2024. I lead a team who competed in a Bollywood dance competition for the first time from Epsom Girls and managed to achieve highly.
• Winner Manukau Diwali Dance Competition 2023

• Teamwork - My experience in dance teams, volunteering at retail stores and a large scale event like BNZ Diwali have allowed me to develop vital teamwork skills which I believe are beneficial for the workplace.
• Responsibility - I have been a leader of a dance team, head choreographer and am the eldest sibling in my family. This has helped me become a responsible person as well as taught me how to be calm and patient in stressful situations and handle conflicts.
• Willingness to learn - I have been studying a variety of subjects and have achieved certificates of excellence in different subjects. My willingness to learn and excel is evident through my achievements. I always carry my confidence and positive attitude to achieve my goals.
• Organisation/ Time management - I've had to organise many events, and manage my time with all my extra-curricular commitments and staying on top of my assignments and education.

I love numbers and using critical thinking to solve problems, which is why a degree in accounting is the perfect fit for me. I also love to dance and have been dancing and competing for around 9 years, I thrive in a competitive environment and always want to put my best foot forward. Recently I've also really began to enjoy event management, having to communicate with vendors, budgeting, working with a team and putting together events for university students has been a really enjoyable experience for me. I am fluent in 3 languages - English, Hindi and Marathi (Indian languages).
