Experience

  • Community Facilitator at Massey University - Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa
    Feb 2026 - Present · 6 mos

    As a Co-Lab Facilitator, I have undertaken a community-oriented role focused on designing and implementing an initiative that delivers measurable benefits to students. This project will follow an Action Research framework, beginning with evidence-based inquiry through surveys and analysis of historical data from previous years to identify key student needs and gaps. Based on this research, I will develop and launch a pilot project (proof-of-concept phase) to test the viability and impact of the initiative on a smaller scale. The pilot will allow for iterative refinement using feedback and performance data. If the outcomes demonstrate effectiveness, the initiative will be scaled and evolved into a fully implemented final project using a Continuous Improvement Model.
