Hayward College, University of Otago

• Assistant Residential Tutor

  • Jan 2019 - Aug 2020

  My role focuses on providing our first-year students with the opportunities to have a well rounded experience at the University of Otago. Through providing a community orientated programme, I lead and organise the events calendar for Hayward College which gives students the chance to be involved in social, sporting, volunteering and cultural activities. In addition to events, I am part of the pastoral care team and provide academic advice to students. I have a passion for sustainability and have recently been on a short-term secondment to the Sustainability Office to support the Green Impact Awards Programme.
