The coolest thing about this job is the real-life experience. For me is it not a specific task that I have enjoyed the most, it is the new sense of professionalism I have gained.
Making the customer feel comfortable and giving good suggestions to them if something went wrong and working along with them to correct things will make me think I am doing my role in the right way.

I applied to a program called Tuputoa which offers Māori and Pacific Island students internships in the summer which landed me an interview with Deloitte. Since then, I received an offer as a graduate and have now been at Deloitte for 6 months and am loving every second of it.
Make sure your study goals align with those you associate with. I had a friend group that wanted to succeed in their studies which made it easier to do well.
As part of environmental management and compliance, we monitored noise during standard construction hours at Dapto. Our noise levels were as expected, and I submitted the data to the client.
