Success Story: Olivia Natalie Tanujaya
Indonesian student Olivia Natalie Tanujaya started her career in her family business, Olive’s Diner. She hopes to one day open her own business, using her education, work experience, and the master’s degree she is currently pursuing.
Before joining our Auckland International Campus, Olivia graduated from Bunda Mulia University with a degree in Visual Communication Design. She then worked as a freelance graphic designer while also helping with the family business.
Originally from Bekasi, West Java, Indonesia, Olivia decided to pursue an international master’s degree to gain new knowledge and experiences. She already had a sister living in New Zealand, and her brother-in-law had completed his master’s degree at AIC.
Olivia says AIC provides wonderful facilities and support for students pursuing further education.
“The best thing about studying at AIC so far is that the campus teams and lecturers are supportive. There are also a lot of helpful workshops and programmes for students to attend.”
She says it took some time to adapt to a new education system, but she is now settling into the environment.
After graduating, Olivia hopes to work in marketing, combining what she learned during her design degree with the knowledge she is gaining through her applied management studies. Eventually, she hopes to open her own business.
Her advice to fellow students is to believe in themselves, even when things are difficult, and to keep moving forward.
