Kia ora tātou, I'm Anei!

‍

I am in my third year of study, towards a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Geography and minoring in Environmental Science and Māori and Indigenous Studies.

‍

My role for Lads this year is within the Marketing Team. I am the Social media and Communications Lead. I’m super excited for this role, as I love being creative and spreading awareness and meaning in fun and communicative ways!

‍

Over time, I’ve learned the impacts mental health has on everyone. I’m keen to be part of this supportive environment that fosters and normalises open conversations around mental health, especially for the men in my life. I’m also proud to be able to share and advocate all I have and will learn along this journey of being within the Lads whanau, not only for my fellow students at UC but for all!

‍

A little bit extra about me! I grew up in Auckland before moving to Christchurch to study—my larger whānau hail from the Hokianga in Northland. I love keeping fit and active when possible and enjoy doing anything outdoors. I’m always down for a good time with my mates, and my favourite season is summer!

See you at the events!
