Angela McLean BPhty, GDip ALT, PhD | Study Support Co-Ordinator
Kia ora. I have lots of experience working with students and staff from all over the world, in different subjects and at different levels. If you need to improve your writing, figure out your assignment, understand feedback, or get a friendly perspective on how to sort out being stuck, let me know – together, we'll find someone in our team who can help.
Sharon Patterson – Kāti Māmoe, Dip Art Des | Student Relationships Coordinator
Kia ora. I’m from Hokitika but have lived in Whakatū for decades. My kete gathers skills from diverse customer-centred roles (e.g. legal, tourism, arts), and I have supported NMIT ākonga for over 10 years. I enjoy connecting, listening, and collaborating to help ākonga thrive. I also help with digital skills and assistive technologies. If you have any feedback about your study experience, kōrero mai!

I look forward to meeting you.
