Tatauranga Aotearoa | Stats NZ Graduate Stories

In my perspective, the greatest gift of my job is knowing that my work makes a difference in someone else’s day.

My role as a Systems Consultant at Stats NZ is to ensure the successful establishment of this new platform. My day-to-day work, which is part of a much larger project to rearchitect the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI), mixes deep technical tasks with communicating and understanding the needs of the business users.

Statistics is all about quantifying the real world. The stories in our data are the stories of New Zealand.

What I love most about my job is exploring data to solve a problem then testing if the proposed solution(s) would make a difference.

It’s really exciting to see the concepts that I studied at university coming through in our data.

Keeping up-to-date with what’s going on in both central and local government is, therefore, a huge part of my role.
