I have been so lucky in my education throughout my life. Without it I would be a completely different person, and seeing such a concrete (sometimes literally) symbol of access to education for someone is genuinely wonderful to me.
It’s fun to be working in the environment and sustainability field, especially in the transport sector, as this is an industry where we can make a real difference in regards to New Zealand’s carbon emissions.
Working here involves maintaining the data warehouse and keeping the information in it up to date, creating reports for internal and inter-agency use, and providing data access.
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.
The workplace culture at Stats NZ was very welcoming, even when it was busy, the people are calm and relaxed. Stats NZ has a wonderful work environment.
I love being surrounded by such an enthusiastic team who are motivated to make change in the transport system, and this inspires me every day to keep advocating for change.
