2016

IT Coordinator

I joined Synergy in March 2016 as their IT coordinator.
The main purpose of my role is to learn web development skills
such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to make regular changes and
updates to their website.
Usually I spent two hours per week working with two other
members of the organisation to fulfil my duties.

Consulting Project Team

I joined Auckland Microfinance Initiative (AMI) after
their consulting teams where we were given a project to work
on throughout the semester. I worked alongside three other
teams members and our project was on focused on devising a new
marketing strategy for South Pacific Business Development
(SPBD) for one of their new products.

Ambassador

I was am ambassador for the Champions Trophy Case Competition
2016, an international business case competition held by the
University of Auckland. My nominated team was Nanyang Technological
University (from Singapore).

Microsoft Coding Competition

I was in a team of three solving small coding problems - I used
Python during this competition.

Hack Fest

As part of the Summer of Tech internship programme,
they held a Web App Hack Fest which I took part in. We
were placed into a team of four or five and given two days
to create a web application. Our team focused on food and
we designed a web app called 'APP-etite' which allowed users
to search their closest restaurants and eatery based on their
location and budget. We used a combination of Google Maps API
and Yelp API. I worked on the front-end of the web app
throughout the Hack Fest.

Women in Computer Science

This was a programme held within the university which
encourages women studying computer science to meet up on a
regular basis to help and encourage each other through their
individual studies. I was a regular attendee and it was very
useful to hear about the internships, courses, and other
experiences everyone has taken. They also had tutors to help
with any course work and assignments (and free food!)

2015

Development Squad Programme

I was selected to participate in the Fonterra Development
Squad Programme in the second semester of my first year. This
programme is associated with the university's business school
case competition club - Management Consulting Club (MCC).
During the programme, I worked in a team of four on providing
and presenting a solution to six different business cases over
the course of five weeks.

Science and Innovation Competiton

This was an internal case competition held by the Management
Consulting Club in which I had to consult for a case based on Fisher
and Paykel Healthcare along with three others. We placed third for
this competition. Our presentation can be found here.

Brand Challenge

This was an internal case competition held by the Management
Consulting Club and sponsored by Mind Your Own Business (MYOB).
I worked alongside three others to come up with a fresh and innovative
marketing strategy for MYOB. We were selected as finalist in this competition
(top 4 out of 66 teams) and were commented on our creativity and
afforadable marketing strategy.

Short Term Project

This was a challenge held by Make a Difference with Economics (MADE).
I was put into a team of four where we were given a few weeks to present
a policy targeting obesity, an health issue facing the New Zealand economy.
Our proposal was to set price restrictions on certain foods deemed to be
unhealthy or high in cholesterol and other obesity-related ingredients.
We were chosen as finalist for this challenge and had to present our
research and findings on final's night.

MYOB IT Challenge

This was an internal case competition held by the Management
Consulting Club and sponsored by Mind Your Own Business (MYOB).
The aim of this competition was to come up with any IT solutions
related to the businesses of MYOB. I worked in a team of three for
this case and we were chosen as finalists for this challenge.
Our solution was a simple inventory management system (sims) that
enables users to keep track of their inventory levels.

First Year Case Competition

This was the first internal case competition I participated in.
It was targeted specifically for first-year university students and
we made it to the finals after three rounds of consulting and presentation.

Ideas Challenge

This was a $1k challenge held by Spark (now known as Velocity) - the
university's business school entrepreneurial programme. For this challenge,
I proposed the idea of INvolvement which is a not-for-profit voluntary training
program designed to help youth, the unskilled, the inexperienced potential workers
to gain the experience and skills employers are searching for.

$100K Challenge

This was a $100k challenge held by Spark (now known as Velocity) - the

I worked in a team of two and we presented the idea of ORA, an affordable wearable
aiming to reduce the incidence of SIDS among Maori families, through a
culturally-resonant device and service model.
