Hi there, my name is Lachie and this is my first year on the Lads without Labels team, being apart of the Initiatives Team as a Flat Chatter. I am in my 3rd and final year of studying at UC, studying a BCOM with a Major in Marketing.

Born orginally in Wellington, I moved to Auckland when I was 5 and lived there until my time at UC started. I've always loved being outdoors, and spent my whole life playing football which I've continued to do for UC football.

I joined Lads this year because I want to be apart of such a great community of people, and really try to break down that stigma that still surronds mental health. With mental health being something that so many people struggle with, being able to have postitive impacts on people is really important. Flat Chats provided an oppurtunity for me to connect with different flats around UC and tackle the tougher conversations.
