Introduction

You’ll find Hananja in the Latimer Library on Laidlaw’s Christchurch campus, helping students access the catalogue and make the most of learning resources, alongside academic and pastoral support for holistic care throughout their studies.

Hananja loves journeying alongside students — celebrating their growth and helping them discover their own capability and confidence. She’s especially passionate about making theology and academic study feel accessible, particularly for women and those new to study.

She studied Applied Theology at Carey Baptist College and has worked in disability, mental health, and foster care. Outside work, she volunteers with Christchurch RDA and loves horses, the ocean, and a good book with hot chocolate.
