Student leaders and voice

Corban Hiestand (he/him)

Information Technology

Hello!

I am studying Information Technology Level 4 and I plan on doing my Level 5 Diploma next year. I put my hand up to be a student leader to be a voice that introverted people can rally behind to share their experience, or ask for help.

So if you see me around, come have a yarn, I love meeting new people.

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.

I am a first year student nurse studying Bachelor of Nursing. I grew up in Hāwera and I am a passionate local Māori. Advocating for a great education and great experience for students is my game.

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.

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.

I am a current Career Preparation & Study Skills student with a passion for education, the community and volunteering. I am aspiring to be a future nurse, paramedic, and equine science student. I love being able to advocate and represent other people especially in such a big step in our lives.

I look forward to meeting new faces around campus, no matter what walk of life you come from so feel free to say hello.

I am in my first year at WITT studying Environmental Management. I look forward to meeting and talking to all students whether it's just a chat or about an issue.

I want to be the voice of the student body because I always want people to be heard and looked after. Feel free to come up and have a korero with me if you see me around campus.

Career and Study Preparation

Kia ora. I’m a student who champions for equity, especially for the most vulnerable, coming hand in hand with creative problem solving and a desire to initiate, create and change.

Being an open ear comes naturally to me and I love working alongside people supporting them to find solutions.  You presence is my present! So look out for me on campus and come say hi if you see me.

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.
