         Coming from a small atoll in Kiribati and arriving at AUT in
         Auckland, New Zealand was a bit of a shock for Rose.
         “I was uncomfortable at first, but I wanted to fulfil why I came here,   Rose Iataake King
         so I just do my best. The support I received from AUT student services   Bachelor of Engineering Technology
         and my lecturers was key.”                                             in Computer and Mobile Systems
         Rose came to AUT after being awarded the New Zealand Pacific Scholarship,   Engineering student
         encouraged to apply by her parents. She looks forward to bringing the skills
         and knowledge she has gained back to Kiribati.
         “AUT helps me develop skills that are relevant in the industry I want to be
         involved in, and I know these skills will help me when I finish my degree and go
         back to Kiribati. I will be able to develop something to improve my community.”
