Kia Ora, I’m Sarah and I currently study Bachelor of Civil Engineering Honors at the University of Auckland. I am determined, competitive and love to set goals to give me something to aim for. Sports have always been a part of my journey here at Pinnacle. A strong passion of mine is Rowing, and I was recently selected for the New Zealand University Rowing Team. Wearing the silver fern has always been a goal of mine and I’m excited about the opportunity. Rowing has taught me many values such as resilience, self perseverance, motivation, and great time management skills.
I have a love for history, politics and science and I believe it is important to stay curious and ask lots of questions. Travelling is also a love of mine. Getting to see first hand different landscapes, cultures and architecture always interests me, and is something I want to do more of in the future. Moving away from home and to a big city like Auckland brought its challenges, but I have loved the new experiences, friends and opportunities it has brought me. At University I am fortunate to be the Vice President of AUBC, the university's rowing club, as well as being an executive manager of the Civil and Structural Students Association CESA.
I am excited to embark on Stage Two of the Pinnacle programme, and are excited for what the future holds
