For the past two and a bit years I have been working for Auckland Council in the Connected Communities department of Auckland Council at Oranga Community Centre, first as a Place Host and for the last year as a program coordinator. As a program co-ordinator at Oranga Community Centre, I ensure that the community centre is engaged and active with the Oranga Community, that people within the community feel heard, and empowered, as well as establishing, building on, and maintaining relationships with different aspects of government, local enterprises, and NGOs. I ensure that Oranga Community Centre is an active space with plenty of various programs that benefit the Oranga Community. My heart is with community, and I love working on the ground and helping insure that people in the community have as much opportunities to take part and enjoy everyday life. Currently I am working toward obtaining my Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Psychology part time whilst working full time. Prior to this career, I worked in the advertising industry at NZME. as a recording engineer and creative writer.
