Mele sits at the front desk of the Christchurch campus, where she carries out daily operational and administrative tasks for the campus, as well as welcoming all students, staff, and visitors with a smile as they walk through the front doors. She also works alongside the student leadership team to plan events that promote community life and engagement, and advocates on their behalf for initiatives they’d like to see implemented across the College. Throughout the year, Mele coordinates events including O-Week, Community Lunches, Open Nights, and Graduation.
Mele is first-generation New Zealand-born, with her parents hailing from the Kingdom of Tonga. Born and raised in Ōtautahi alongside her five siblings, she has lived all around the city and has since settled back in Upper Riccarton, where she now lives with her husband.
