Studying towards a Bachelor of Sport Coaching in Sports Leadership and Management, with a minor in Media and Communication
What was it that brought you down from Auckland to study at UC?
I found UC had the best overall vibe that drew me in, especially with Sport Coaching. Sports has always been my passion my whole life so to me there was never any other options.
How have you found your Sports degree so far?
It’s such a fun field and you can learn so much about yourself and sports in general. Usually I go to my classes and study during the day, and then I’ll either go to the Rec Centre or go to a sports training in the arvo.
What’s your goal for your sports career?
Hopefully to be a Head of Sport at a school, or involved in a big sports industry like Sport NZ!
What do you think about UC?
I love the overall energy and flow of the place and the campus is so pretty!
And how about living at University Hall? What made you decide to live on campus?

What’s been a highlight from Uni Hall?
I think my highlight would have to be making all the new friends I’ve made, and especially I’ve loved how close my floor has become, we’re like a little family.
So all-in-all, you would recommend living in a hall?
I would say definitely go for it. It’s a one-time opportunity and an overall great experience to get out of your
