Graduate Success Stories


  • Graduate stories
One of the most interesting and empowering parts of my work is being encouraged to apply a Te Ao Māori lens to any aspect of my work – my culture is a core part of my identity and I’m valued for that part of me – meaning I am able to bring my most authentic self to work.
