Student Leaders

Curtis Stewart

Conservation

Hi, and nice to meet you. This is my first year studying at WITT. I joined the student leader team because I want to help people achieve and encourage them to do their best.

I want all students to have a great learning experience and to play a part in achieving this.

Construction management with strands in Quantity Surveying

Hi, 

I'm Jerin, a Year one International student studying Construction management with strands in Quantity Surveying. I have always had an interest in meeting and talking to new people, hear their stories and learn from them.

I choose to be a student leader to represent all the students on campus, to give them a voice, be heard and get them the help they require. I believe I'm a good listener so say hi when you see me around campus.

Architectural Technology

Konnichiwa. I have always had an interest in buildings and their design often taking influence from the past for how it can benefit our future in terms of design and materials which is what lead me to study Architecture.

I have the great pleasure of being a mother to 3 wonderful boys.

One of my key qualities is that I’m compassionate which is what lead me to becoming a student leader. To be someone who anyone can come to for a listening ear and if the need arises to be an advocate in your corner.

Suhail Walia (he/him)

Construction Management

Kia ora, 

As an international student with a passion for leadership, I have consistently strived to be a proactive voice for my fellow students. My journey in student leadership began long before I arrived at WITT, and it has been a driving force in my academic and personal growth. 

My interest centres around embracement, empathy, and active listening. Whether it’s small talk with a student or addressing larger issues, I believe in the power of open communication.  Feel free to have a coffee anytime you see me in campus.
