ALISON HART
Hi I’m Alison, my role is to oversee the running of the Association for past, present and future students. Basically this involves managing contracts, staff, finances and meeting the legal requirements of being an incorporated society and registered charity.
All that is a bit dry, but fortunately as we are a small team, I still get to work on the events, international activities and walk the campus putting up posters.
With a background in management and dispute resolution, I enjoy working with students, seeing them develop new skills, be successful with in their studies and move onto their new careers. With over 15 years in the role, I am lucky enough to still be in contact with many of the students who have held positions within the Association.
I love finishing with the graduation’s every year, seeing students and their family celebrating success and knowing chances are that somewhere along the way, they have attended a SANITI event or received support from one of the other services provided by the Association.
ALYSSA WATSON
Hey guys!
I’m Alyssa, the Marketing Coordinator & also International Activities Coordinator here at SANITI!
My role ranges from promoting events, designing posters, flyers & promo, running the SANITI FB page, helping out with events, to organising and venturing on trips around the region with international students.
I really enjoy being able to work alongside the awesome SANITI crew, and connecting with students on the daily - be it in the office, wandering around campus, at events or on our International Activity trips.

CAMILLE COUNTRYMAN
Hey!
My name is Camille, but feel free to call me Cami!
I am lucky enough to have joined the SANITI team at the start of 2020, covering as the Employment Coordinator for Cherie while she was on maternity leave.
Now that she is back, I am happy to say I still get to be part of the team as the Projects & Wellbeing Coordinator.
This means you can catch me in the office working on all sorts of projects, or around campus delivering events to support your needs and maintain your overall wellbeing as NMIT students!

CHERIE BAKER
Cherie is here to help create personalised CV’s for you that highlight your own unique skills and experiences in a style that will gain the employer’s attention.
Through industry knowledge, Cherie understands the importance of building confidence and uses a mixture of questioning and mentoring expertise to help students understand their strengths, skills and interests as well as providing interview coaching so they are comfortable putting their best foot forward during the interview process.

JAYCOB BROWN
Kia ora! My name is Jaycob, I am a student advocate and the event manager for SANITI. While both jobs are very different, it means I get to meet all sorts of people. My job(s) range from working one on one with individuals and supporting people through hard times to cooking up a storm on the bbq’s and feeding a crowd. If you feeling like a catch up or you fancy a chat, drop by. Chances are I’ll also have snacks on me.
I was born in Whanganui and since then have lived in all larger cities around NZ. I’ve travelled to other countries and still love our little country in the pacific.
I enjoy staying at home cause low key I’m a nana, it gives the opportunity to embrace one of my greatest passions. Gaming! Being a home body means I get to cook for mates and hang out. I enjoy short walks on the beach hopefully eating an ice-cream.

SHINN KRAMMER
As Student President my main role is ensuring that the student voice is heard here at NMIT and nationally. I am your representation on council and concern myself with ensuring equity and fairness across the institute. Whether you want to chat over coffee or need a stronger drink I try to make myself available when students are in need and will do what I can to help.
You can find me running between meetings or hiding in the Kowhai lounge when I’m not in the office. Feel free to give me a ring and set up a time to talk. After all; your concerns are my concerns and I would love to know students feel comfortable with standing up for what they believe in.
Remember to love each other and be kind to your fellow students. We are all in this together and the only way to make it to graduation is by supporting and uplifting one another.
TONI BAIGENT
Hi, my name is Toni and I am one of the 2 student advocates working for SANITI.
I studied a Bachelor in Applied Social Sciences because I have an interest in people and their experiences of life.
I like that my role here is to connect with students and look to help by providing resources and support where there may be a lack – with the goal of getting students through to graduation.
If you have any questions or are needing a bit of support you can email me at:
