Prosple Profiles

I have been so lucky in my education throughout my life. Without it I would be a completely different person, and seeing such a concrete (sometimes literally) symbol of access to education for someone is genuinely wonderful to me.

It’s fun to be working in the environment and sustainability field, especially in the transport sector, as this is an industry where we can make a real difference in regards to New Zealand’s carbon emissions.

I got to perceive the economy in a much more grounded way compared to the sanitised abstractions of the classroom.

The workplace culture at Stats NZ was very welcoming, even when it was busy, the people are calm and relaxed.  Stats NZ has a wonderful work environment.

I love being surrounded by such an enthusiastic team who are motivated to make change in the transport system, and this inspires me every day to keep advocating for change.

Given the end result of a deal can be life-changing financially for our clients, it is incredibly rewarding to help contribute towards that end goal, where they are able to realise the value of the result of years of their sacrifices, investment and hard work!

During my time at Stats NZ, I was blessed enough to be placed in the best team which is the Wellbeing and Housing team.

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.
