Talofa lava, o lo’u igoa o Caroline Ryan. I am a proud Samoan student based in Samoa and am currently completing the final two papers of my BA in Psychology, with a minor in Indigenous Psychologies. I currently serve as Pasifika Co-President for Te Tira Ahu Pae, and I am seeking to return to the Pasifika Pāmamao Representative role, which I held in 2024.
In my Pasifika representative roles, I have consistently advocated for the voices of Pasifika distance students in decision-making spaces across the university. I am passionate about rebuilding and strengthening the virtual Pasifika student space through meaningful engagement, connection, and opportunities that help our students feel seen, supported, and inspired throughout their educational journey.
