TATIANA TATAURANGI-RUAU Bachelor of Social Sciences

My favourite thing about Bryant Hall is living with such a diverse group of people. The Bryant Hall community is made up of lots of different characters, cultures, beliefs and values, but one thing for certain is that we all quickly become whānau.

Something I’ve learnt while living and working as an RA in the halls is that it truly becomes your home away from home. The people you meet and experiences you have can never be replaced. It’s an awesome way to get out of your comfort zone and make memories that will last forever.

22 The University of Waikato College Hall

College Hall is our largest hall, and focuses on providing an energetic environment that supports aspirational students in their academic and sporting pursuits. The hall has recently been refurbished, and has modern lounges on each floor for study and leisure time along with a large TV projector room designed for the ultimate sports and movie experience.

MAYNARD SCOTT Bachelor of Management Studies with Honours/Bachelor of Laws

College Hall’s focus on being a community and the support provided made it the ideal place for me to transition to uni. Being so close to the Management School is a plus too – especially for those 9am lectures!

Whether it’s your RA, the housekeepers or other residents, the hall has such a strong sense of community. You always feel supported and encouraged and there’s never a dull moment.

As a resident and now as a staff member, I can tell you that the best things come about in the halls when people break out of their shells.

Student Village is unique in that residents live in pods of six, rather than blocks of 50-60 students. This creates tight-knit communities with a strong sense of family. Residents at Student Village come from all over New Zealand and around the world, creating a melting pot of different cultures, experiences and backgrounds.

ORION DOUGLAS Bachelor of Laws

Student Village became home to me after spending two years there as an RA and then a SRA. Every year the people here start off as strangers and then at the end of the year those same people are in tears not wanting to say goodbye.

It’s a prominent feature of this hall that residents become family, partly because of the hall’s culture and layout, but mostly because of the people who come to live here.

Living at Student Village has taught me to make the most of every opportunity. The year goes by pretty quickly and deciding how to use that time is a steep learning curve.

PUAWAI CAIRNS Bachelor of Arts/Master of Arts Indigenous Curator – Te Papa

I head the Māori curatorial team and support Matauranga Maori within our national museum. It’s a busy and very stimulating job. If we’re working on an exhibition it involves researching, writing, assessing objects, and working with communities and spatial and graphic designers. It’s all consuming and I love it! When I’m not working on a project I do lots and lots of writing, prepare public presentations, travel internationally meeting other curators, deal with media, train interns and whatever else comes my way.

I loved studying at Waikato. I gained excellent writing discipline and critical perspectives and had great support from my lecturers; I’m still in contact with a number of them.

CHARLOTTE MUGGERIDGE Bachelor of Law/Master of Arts

Coming from Taranaki, I decided to enrol at Waikato because it gave me the home feeling. I always knew I wanted to study law, but it wasn’t until I started studying political science that I developed a passion for income equality. I now have a law degree and have completed my masters in political science.

Now I’m working full time in a law firm and I’m also trying to make a difference to New Zealand women in my role as president of the National Council of Women and working with the team at YWCA. My years at Waikato helped me find myself; I started to see how I fit in the world and the part I play.

DAVID DAI Finance and Economics Senior Associate at BNZ

I believe the practical applicability of my business degree is what gave me a competitive edge over other students who applied for BNZ’s graduate programme.

BNZ puts a really big emphasis on people who have a unique offering. Luckily for me, Waikato Management School is the only business school in the country that gets third-year students competing in groups in a Case Competition, where you’re challenged to formulate a business strategy for a real-life company.

I liked that it takes you out of the university mentality and gets you to think realistically, which proved to be a real advantage in helping me stand out against other applicants.

OLIVIA LECKNER Public Relations and Marketing Communications assistant to the Mayor, Wellington City Council

My job has been a great introduction to political PR! I get to contribute to the planning and implementation of strategies. I’m also learning a lot about risk and reputation management, media relations, and public relations strategy. I found that Waikato Management School’s Bachelor of Communication Studies had everything I was looking for – Certification from the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) made it an easy choice.

During my BCS degree, I learned how to plan and implement a public relations campaign, think strategically, write for different stakeholders, and understand the role of communications in achieving organisational goals. While at uni, I took an internship with a creative agency in Hamilton that was running a mayoral campaign for a candidate in the local body election. I'm looking forward to developing my skills and doing work I'm passionate about for cities and people.

SARA SCHAARE Computer Science Software Engineer, Google, Sydney

Before completing my BCMS(Hons), I didn’t know much about computer programming. Now, I’m lucky enough to be a software engineer at Google in Sydney, working with a team to develop products for emerging markets.

Over the next three years, one billion people will start using the internet for the first time across Asia, Africa and South America. Part of my job is to create products for these first-time users that will enhance their experience.

I love the problem-solving aspect of computer science and the challenge of finding a solution, which is why a degree in Computer Science was the perfect choice for me.

One of the best things about studying design at Waikato is the freedom to explore and to work on projects that you are passionate about. A particular highlight for me was creating Sugarpal – a mobile diabetes management app, inspired by my own experiences with Type 1 diabetes. Working on projects like this meant I got the opportunity to develop a strong portfolio that I am very proud of.

I was fortunate to secure two paid internships straight out of university, both of which were brought to my attention by my lecturers. I believe that my diverse portfolio combined with the real-world skills that I gained during my time at the University of Waikato set me apart from other university students. I have absolutely loved my time at uni and I can’t wait to jump at every opportunity that comes my way!

We covered important skills like report writing, understanding consents and knowing the RMA – all skills that are relevant once you get out into the work force.

SHAREE HAMILTON Law and Management Senior Solicitor, Duncan Cotterill, Wellington

I made the most of all the practical elements of Waikato’s LLB, such as client interviewing and negotiation. This gave me a great foundation of knowledge and skills that have helped me significantly in the workplace, especially in building my confidence.

Now in my fourth year with Duncan Cotterill, I work in the corporate and commercial team, and provide legal advice to a wide range of clients, from private start-ups to large companies on the stock exchange. I assist in mergers and acquisitions of businesses, listing companies on the stock exchange, capital markets compliance, capital raising, drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, and a number of other matters.

My job as a supply chain assistant is so far from what I expected to be doing after uni. I’ve been given this amazing opportunity to design a system and develop strategies for a new start-up. I'm in at the deep-end, constantly learning and loving every second of it. I would credit the diverse student experiences that I enjoyed at Waikato University for developing the teamwork and leadership skills that I use in my job every day. I know that I will be able to use my business degree from Waikato to work anywhere in the world, and that I will always be learning. I'm looking forward to seeing how my first years as a graduate will build on the strong foundation the university gave me, and what role my values will play as I strive to be a young female Māori leader.

CLAUDIA WU Computer Science and Mathematics Senior Portfolio Analyst, ANZ

I think the lecturers at Waikato did a fantastic job choosing study materials and covering all the important topics. It meant that when I got to the workforce I was prepared.

At ANZ I use the data mining skills I learnt at Waikato every day. The first step is to understand the data and the data structure, to know what useful information I have and how to pull it from the database. I then manipulate the data to the shape I need and apply statistical methods and business knowledge to discover the information I want. From there I turn that information into knowledge, and use the knowledge to help make business decisions.

I liked Waikato’s BSc because it enabled me to study a wide range of sciences, keeping my career options open. The lecturers are all friendly and approachable, and they want to see their students succeed. Being surrounded by other motivated people who have a passion for science was great!

One thing I’ve really enjoyed about my degree is that everything we learn in lectures is reinforced through our lab sessions, with equipment and software that we don’t encounter in school. Another highlight was completing the Tongariro Crossing in my third-year volcanology paper.

APRIL MCMURTRIE Animal Behaviour, Biological Sciences Zoo Keeper, Wellington Zoo

I prepare and feed-out diets, clean exhibits, and fulfil any behavioural needs of the animals in my care, such as walking the dingoes daily. I also give daily talks and take visitors behind the scenes for animal encounters. I aim to empower visitors to believe in the need for a sustainable co-existence between wildlife and people.

By completing a work placement at Hamilton Zoo, I had both theoretical knowledge and proven perseverance while also having an extensive background in practical, industry-specific experience.

Without this, I feel I would not have been able to hit the ground running in the industry as I have.

Sharing a life with such awe-inspiring animals is so humbling and so fulfilling that I couldn't imagine myself in any other career.

ZOE LARGE Master of Social Sciences Intelligence Analyst – New Zealand Police

My qualifications have been essential in gaining my current position. I chose Psychology to learn about the influences behind people’s behaviour, and I chose Sociology to gain a deeper understanding of the way society and culture impact on people.

I gained experience in research design, data collection, critical analysis, and report writing. My studies also developed my interpersonal skills through learning to work collaboratively and engage with a wide variety of people. It is really rewarding knowing that the work I do has an influence on the community.

CINTIA CHALCOFF Human Development

I decided to study Human Development to learn more about the transitions we go through in our lifetime. The range of papers and topics on offer allowed me to pursue my interest in childhood and families.

Working towards a double major in Human Development and Psychology provided me with complementary tools to understand the contextual, cultural, socioeconomic, political and global variables that influence development. We explored these complex processes and the diversity of experiences utilising international and local perspectives, and an interdisciplinary framework. I hope to apply this knowledge to working with children and families to improve available services.

JASMIN MUELLER Bachelor of Social Work Oranga Tamariki

I knew from a young age that I wanted to make a positive contribution to society. When I heard the University of Waikato offers a Bachelor of Social Work it was an easy decision for me to stay in Tauranga and pursue my passion. Now I work at Oranga Tamariki – The Ministry for Children. My job is to assess, support and train caregivers, and help them make a difference to the children in their care.

Studying at Waikato gave me the perfect preparation for my career. Not only did it give me all the knowledge and skills, I gained the confidence and belief I needed to become a social worker. I had so much support from the lecturers who helped me reach my potential.

SEAN REILLY Early Childhood Bachelor of Teaching

I had always thought about becoming an early childhood teacher, then after visiting a few early childhood centres in Whitianga I realised there weren’t as many males doing early childhood teaching. This motivated me even more to start my degree at Waikato.

So far, I’ve learned how to interact better with children, learned about letting children explore their limits while not interrupting their learning, and have gained an understanding about using special techniques to help them get the most out of their learning experiences. I always look forward to practicum as putting into practice what you’re learning and seeing kids benefit from it is so rewarding.
