Emelia Masari
Emelia's Master of Health Leadership helped prepare her for a career as a project analyst at Synergia.
"Deciding to pursue a Master of Health Leadership was one of the easiest and best choices I have ever made. It prepared me for a career in health by providing me with the skills to support my passions.
“I am now a project analyst at Synergia. After graduating from the Bachelor of Health Sciences, I studied the Master of Health Leadership. I was so thankful for the opportunity to work in partnership with Auckland Council and WAI Auckland on a project.
“My project looked at ‘Auckland Paths and the addition of drinking water foundations for better health outcomes’. I wrote a business case, looking at how we can improve access to drinking water. It was accepted by Auckland Council and implemented a few months later
I gained a good understanding of how local government and Auckland Regional Public Health Service works and also gained experience with stakeholder engagement, interviewing, literature scans and business cases.
"In the future, I would love to create and manage community programmes to empower people to gain better control over their lives.”
