About

Daniel Smith

Kia Ora! My name is Daniel, this year I'll be in my fourth year of study towards a BSc(Hons) in Physics. For 2025 I will be leading the incredibly talented and passionate events team as the Events Manager.

Being raised on a small Canterbury farm I’m a big fan of being outdoors, especially in the mountains and even more so during the winter. I love to challenge myself, try new things and to seek discomfort! Mental health to me is certainly one of the biggest issues we have in local communities today. It’s a multifaceted, complex and constantly evolving issue. I have always wanted to be in a position where I can make a positive impact on people’s lives, whether it’s through everyday kindness or providing help in a time of need.

Lads has been and continues to be the perfect platform for me to achieve that goal. Lads allows many of us to spread awareness and providing support in a meaningful way. I truly cannot wait to work with such an incredible and talented team to provide support, spread awareness and break the stigma around mental health.
