Kia ora! I’m Molly, and I’m really excited to be stepping back into the Secretary role for Lads in 2026.

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Laws alongside a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Psychology with a minor in Operations & Supply Chain Management. I’m originally from Blenheim, and I first joined the Lads exec in 2024 as Secretary. Stepping into the Vice-President role in 2025 was an awesome experience and a chance to help the club grow, strengthen our relationships, and support some of the biggest mahi we’ve done. Coming back as Secretary for 2026 feels like the perfect way to continue contributing and keeping the momentum going.

What I love most about Lads is how genuinely welcoming and supportive the community is. Every event feels like a space where people can show up as themselves, connect, and feel part of something bigger. Seeing how impactful that environment can be, especially for students adjusting to uni life or navigating tough patches reminds me why this club matters so much. Being able to help create and maintain that sense of belonging is a big part of why I keep coming back.

I’m really looking forward to what 2026 brings and can’t wait to help keep building a strong, supportive Lads community. It’s a privilege to be involved with such an incredible team and the wider whānau that surrounds it.
