ichael graduated from the College in 2004 having been a Prefect and MWishart House Leader in his final year. He is well-remembered as a triathlete and an accomplished cyclist having been part of the team that won ‘Team of the Year 2004’ after a year of notable wins. He was also a boarder at Bruce House and enjoyed the camaraderie that came with it.

Since leaving Saint Kentigern, Michael moved to Dunedin to complete a Bachelor of Physical Education at Otago University. He said that at the time, this was a seemingly natural progression for someone with a keen interest in sport and exercise. During the later parts of this degree, he became interested in the idea of continuing with research following the completion of an honours year where he conducted research to investigate how breakfast alters energy utilisation during subsequent exercise.

A lack of prospective funding and a passion for more ‘in depth’ science led Michael to Palmerston North where he completed a Graduate Diploma in Science with a major in Biochemistry and Human Genetics. From here, he moved to Melbourne to complete his PhD in Professor Mark Febbraio’s Laboratory at the BakerIDI Heart and Diabetes Institute. During his time in Melbourne, he was involved in projects investigating how obesity causes insulin resistance - the primary symptom leading to the development of Type 2 Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome.

In July 2015, Michael moved to New York to join the Department of Medicine at the prestigious Columbia University as a post-doctoral research scientist in the laboratory of Professor Domenico Accili. There, he is currently researching how various metabolic diseases influence the bone and bone marrow to modulate white blood cell production, inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk.

In November of that year, he was named as one of two Russell Berrie Foundation Scholars for 2015 who will share a US$150,000 grant that enables international researchers to work for up to two years in laboratories affiliated with the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center. With the scholarship funding, he will investigate how obesity promotes tissue dysfunction that leads to morbidity. While existing research describes how blood cell formation is altered in obesity, Michael’s project will look at how bone marrow tissue itself is affected by obesity, which until now has been poorly studied.

Michael has relished his opportunities for on-going research and has had several papers published, a prestigious achievement for a young scientist.

Now married, Michael and his wife are thoroughly enjoying this opportunity to live in New York.

Tessa Meyer

Tessa Meyer, is continuing the Saint ‘This is something I learnt while at the College, and my experience Kentigern tradition has shown me that a lot of young people do really value service and of service with her make time for it. It’s a wonderful way to connect with others and to support of a special generate stronger communities, and I hope this campaign – which will campaign to promote continue in future years – will remobilize service-inclined people and volunteering in the inspire others to start!’ community. Following her graduation from the College, Tessa gained a Bachelor of Science at University of Canterbury (UC) and is now studying towards her Masters in Urban Resilience and Renewal. She is the Vice-President of the Student Volunteer Army (SVA), which partnered with the RSA and UC in launching the Serve for New Zealand initiative for Anzac Day. The essence of the campaign is to generate a new tradition of service during national days of significance. It encourages New Zealanders to pledge their support to give one hour (or more, if they wish!) of their time to volunteer in their communities on public holidays.

‘The idea was ignited when we spent time with Prince Harry last year,’ says Tessa. ‘He mentioned connecting with retired servicemen – and we realised that the SVA and the RSA share similar values of compassion, comradeship, and a spirit to help others. Our team was overwhelmed with the positive reaction the campaign received. It was incredibly exciting to see our engagement with people increase as the hours pledged online rose to 6500 by Anzac Day.

What have you been doing since you graduated College?

I’ve been doing a lot of things but my main focus since leaving school has been taking my acting career to the next level. I’ve been training full time with Massive Theatre company with its emerging artist group, as well as training with Peter Feeney in his ‘Actors Lab’. The stage show, ‘The Wholehearted,’ marked my first professional show.

Why drama? What got you started?

If you know me then you know I’m a HUGE professional wrestling fan. When I was five I remember watching Raw (wrestling show) and emulating the entrances of wrestlers such as the Rock and Steve Austin. However, my mum walked in and broke my heart with one line. She said, ‘Lloyd, professional wrestling is fake.’ Now seeing the distraught look on my face, she tried to save herself by saying, ‘It’s acting,’ and so in my head, in order to be the best wrestler in the world, I had to be the best actor and it just snowballed from there. When I got to Saint Kentigern, I met Head of Drama, Ms Emma Bishop and I cannot thank her enough because she really helped me see that there is a career in the performing arts. Under her guidance, I was able to do some of my best work!

What is it like working as a full time actor?

It’s quite funny because although technically this is my job, it’s never really felt like a ‘job’ to me. I mean, I am blessed that I get paid to do what I love, and honestly the money is just a bonus to me, but being able to step on stage and take people on a journey is the best part of being an actor. I’m the platform for the audience to dream around. I love it! I love getting it ‘right’ and I love finding all the ways to get it ‘right.’ And just because I’ve got a professional part, the learning doesn’t stop for me. I sort of saw this production as much of a learning experience as it is a professional show.

Tell us more about the process that led to your first professional production.

Massive Theatre Company has their own unique style of making theatre. They are very well known for having physically charged shows with ‘complicite’ (French for ‘the secret between two or more people’) as the driving force. So first and foremost, ‘The Wholehearted’ is a devised show; a show made from stories from the cast and interviews the cast has done with people outside the rehearsal space. And basically, all the questions and provocations that were put forward all centre around the idea of wholeheartedness and more importantly the pursuit of wholeheartedness. Once we’ve done all our research and we’ve gathered all our ‘material’, we find dynamic ways in which these stories can be both thought provoking and theatrical. Eight hours a day, six days a week is what it took to create this finished result...

What do you love most about working with Massive and having been in Wholehearted?

I love everything! There is never a dull moment, there is never a non-living moment. When you watch a Massive Theatre Company show, you’re watching a quality show. One thing Massive does particularly well, I think, is that everybody in the company aims to be excellent performers. There is no tolerance for mediocrity. If you’re boring, you will be told and I love that. There aren’t pats on the back for putting up ‘okay’ work or ‘half good’ work. It’s either the work is good or it’s not. It’s a direct replica of what the industry is like, and you know you’ll be bringing your best to the stage. ‘The Wholehearted’ was no different. Everything that is shown through ‘The Wholehearted’ has been worked since November of last year, and even then the show won’t be at its best. But I do guarantee an authentic, timeless, edgy, and a thought provoking theatre work.

After graduating from the College in 2009, I studied towards a Bachelor of Communications at AUT and majored in journalism. Once I’d completed my degree, I went on to be a news editor at Yahoo New Zealand. In 2014, I packed up and moved to London to feed my travel cravings and backpack around Europe. I arrived back last year and began my role as a digital producer and online homepage editor for the New Zealand Herald website, at NZ Media & Entertainment.

I did media studies in my final two years at the College, as well as photography, English, music and art history. I had always been keen on getting into media because I thought it was a way I could combine my writing skills and creativity. The Photoshop skills I learnt while taking photography have proved vital! In my roles at Yahoo NZ and the NZ Herald I use it on a daily basis and it’s a great skill to have.

In my first semester at AUT, I found I was familiar with the material in some of my papers as I had already learnt it in media studies at the College. This definitely helped with an easy transition from school to university and was an advantage to feel up to speed. Throughout the degree there was a lot of essay writing – media studies, English and art history all helped me be prepared for this. old collegians old
