Intelligent, articulate student - high value person to have involved.
Bachelor of Design Innovation, majoring in Culture+Context and minoring in Marketing. Also doing a BA in Philosophy.
So is across three campuses. But courses are spread around throughout the week so plenty of time to get around. Walks - good exercise - can't afford to go to the gym!
2nd year
From Auckland. Why Victoria?
- Has two siblings - one is in Dunedin and one in Auckland. Wanted to be physically halfway.
- Wellington is known for being good for art and culture.
"I love that if I want to go home, it's a $30 flight."
Loves the city - you can walk anywhere.
Lives in a 12-person flat on The Terrace.
Own businesses - photography and small design business.
Hard balancing everything and isn't a schedule person, but "I'm never someone to not get something done."
Social media
Loves social media but: "I don't want to be one of those people on their phones all the time." (Doesn't want to be checking her phone when talking to people.)
Last semester she was off Facebook for a month - but missed uni updates.
Acknowledges that she is on social media 'all the time' for her business.
Also has a website for her business.
Uses Instagram for her photos and drawings (which she sells)
Facebook (see below).
Channels
Facebook -
BlackBoard - "Notoriously awful" "Interface should be something students love" "A let down".
Devices
Phone
MacBook
Tablet (Sam, she mumbled here - I think she said tablet)
Takes a laptop to uni for notes unless it's raining. Always has her phone - good in class for looking things up, such as online dictionary to look up a term the lecturer has used.
Info needs from Vic
Uni - the larger scale - ie, overview of where you're heading and what skills you'll have at the end.
MyQual on MyVic definitely helps for this. Needs "more of those things".
