Prizes and Awards

  • In 2013, I was Awarded the Excellence in Governance Development 2013 in recognition of work in the tertiary sector supporting students to achieve at their full potential. This was the inaugural award, developed by Women on Boards New Zealand, a national organisation that promotes greater gender diversity at the chief executive and board level of organisations. I was judged the recipient of this award based on 3 factors - my interactions with and encouragement of postgraduate research students, the development of an internship programme which has seen many graduating students move into fulltime jobs with their internship organisation and hence a beginning career, and the Achieving Career Excellent programme within the School of Business at Massey, which aims to offer women an opportunity for a fast start into the workforce through networking, presentations and the exposure to the world of work. - Women on Boards New Zealand (2013)
