I’ve been working in the employment space for over 8 years and with youth for 5 years, I have a desire to see Rangatahi succeed and I thrive off watching their success.
I am passionate about our Trust and believe wholeheartedly in our Kaupapa and our mahi with Rangatahi, together as a team we work to make lives of others better while developing ourselves while doing it.
My purpose in life is to help others realise and reach for their potential. Inspiring others and organisations to be a ‘Better Version of Self’.
I have worked in the sports, community and youth space for over 25 years in a variety of roles and organisations including codes, schools, not for profits. I have now transferred skills learnt in sport into a passion for people development.
I am deeply passionate about rangatahi and firmly believe that every person is valuable.
My goal is to create a space where young people can recognise their worth and grow in confidence. Having worked with youth since I was one myself, I have never looked back – supporting and learning from them every day is incredibly rewarding.
Alongside my mahi, I am completing a Bachelor of Counselling, so that I can further develop my ability to support young people in understanding their identity and achieving success in their own way.
I’m Jesse, LOC the GOAT. I’ve been a youth worker for eight years, holding various roles across the sector.
I’ve worked briefly in early childhood education, alongside high-risk rangatahi one-on-one, and everything in between. Had my fair share of lows—but way too many highs to count! Right now, my mission is to inspire and guide rangatahi development, with a strong focus on getting them into further education or mahi.
At the end of the day, I’m all about creating a positive impact in my community and for the people within it.
