Shemaiah Iosefo

Kia orana, talofa lava, kia ora and warm pacific greetings to you all. My name is Shemaiah Iosefo and I am a third year student studying a Bachelors degree of Architecture and Future Environments at Auckland University of Technology. My ancestors hail from the beautiful islands of Samoa and Cook Island but also have roots in Aotearoa to the Tainui Iwi. I was born and raised in Auckland until my high school years where I moved to Christchurch to study, and have returned to Auckland for my tertiary years. I have a strong passion for art and my diverse cultures and have taken up Architecture as a future career that can help express my passions through a fixed structure or form that could change one's lifestyle for the better particularly for my family and people here in Aotearoa and back home in the islands.
