Everyone at Foodstuffs is extremely supportive and will take time out of their day to help train you especially interns and graduates.

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.

What I love about my job is to be a bridge to communicate technical to non-technical. Translating and educating is the key and that is what I love to do.

It is also cool how in a few years I still get the ability to be able to look back at the work I was part of and see how this helps the community. Moments like this give me a sense of reward and that all the hard work was worth it.

I think anything is possible! I also believe if you want something bad enough, and put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

One of the things that I believed helped shape my pathway was my journey with sports. Having grown up fully immersed in sports, particularly rugby, I was able to translate a lot of the lessons learnt from the field to the classroom and eventually the workplace.
