I graduated

with a Master of Social and Community Leadership from the University of Auckland.

Since we have a COVID outbreak here, I didn’t get a ceremony, but had a sweet Zoom party with a few friends to celebrate this thing being finished. (With celebration items pictured above: flowers from Victoria Park Flowers, cake from Mudita Cakes).

If you’re curious about what I studied

My thesis, “We hold the kaupapa”: Community-led rainbow suicide prevention in Aotearoa (if you can’t access it here, get in touch and I can send you a copy)

Rainbow suicide prevention: a blog I started alongside the thesis research to share thoughts, links and other research

Lead social and community change: a marketing video for this degree featuring me talking about my studies

Your Pamphleteer: a rather earnest blog assignment about ethical leadership

& the rest of the degree was about public health & rainbow health equity, social innovation, evaluation and research methods.
