"One of the best things about living in Auckland is there is so much to do. I love the beaches and we get all the best concerts - not to mention the different types of food!

"I go to the gym, play tennis, am involved with kapahaka and like to go shopping and meeting friends. There's always something happening."

"I chose The University of Auckland because of its reputation, and I like that I'm able to specialise in Huarahi Māori and work in kura kaupapa (Māori-based primary schools) and bilingual units. I decided to pursue this qualification to get educated as a Kaiako (teacher) to help educate our tamariki (children).
