Shelley - Our Student Support!

Need a person? Meet Shelley!

If you need support, someone to listen, someone to help you find your way - reach out.  If you are having an absolute shitter of a day and just need to unload, have laugh or a cry, or maybe even just a hug ... hugs are available - just ask because consent is cool. If you’re having an amazing day and you just need someone to share in the awesomeness – I’m here for that too. 

Room 2.11 (SoVS building) or S.Hanlon@massey.ac.nz.

Many of you will already know who I am, but in case you don’t – that’s my face.  I’m a Veterinary Education Tutor and your Student Support person here at Tāwharau Ora – School of Veterinary Science.

I have muchos love for my peeps, my fur babies, music, wide open spaces, and you lot (who I consider as part of my peeps but thought you might like the clarification). 

I’m a former student of Massey’s SOVS and have been a part of your Veterinary Education Team since January 2018.  In my Student Support role, it’s important for you to know that I’m not a trained counsellor, but I care about you a bunch and I have an acute understanding of the demands of studying at Tāwharau Ora, the unique challenges that you face during your studies, how isolating being away from home can be, and also the personal growth that you go through during your time with us. 

What can I do for you?  If you need support, someone to listen, someone to help you find your way - reach out.  If you are having an absolute shitter of a day and just need to unload, have laugh or a cry, or maybe even just a hug ... hugs are available - just ask because consent is cool. If you’re having an amazing day and you just need someone to share in the awesomeness – I’m here for that too. 

Come find me.  I’m on the second floor of the SoVS building.  Room 2.11.  Pop by or send me an email at S.Hanlon@massey.ac.nz
