I'm Mrigank. A few months ago, I packed my bag and moved to Auckland, not knowing a single person here, to study Finance and FinTech at Massey. I still remember how overwhelming those first few weeks were  new systems, no support network, and a hundred small things nobody warns you about. Having lived and worked across multiple countries, I've learned how to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds, a skill I believe is essential for representing a student body as diverse as ours.

That's exactly why I'm running for International Student Representative and General Student Representative: I don't want anyone else to feel as lost as I once did. As Treasurer of the Student Social Club and part of the Investment Club, I've spent this year building the kind of community I wish I'd had on day one. If you vote for me, you're not getting a distant representative, you're getting someone who'll genuinely stand up for you.
