Tiegan Blakie

Kia ora, I'm Tiegan a second-year radio student.

Currently, I am majoring in Sales and On-air which has been a challenge but one that has built up my perseverance. For Rewind 96.1 I was the Sales Manager, in this role I managed the sales team as well as a group within the class to ensure they were on track. 

Working On-air was an exciting change of pace, coming up with content for an audience that I typically wouldn't engage with on a day-to-day basis.

The Radio industry has always fascinated me and I am excited to put all the knowledge I have learnt here at the New Zealand Broadcasting School to use in an internship. 

Outside of the New Zealand Broadcasting School, I am a casual promotions assistant for Media Works in Canterbury, work as a late-night Cocktail bartender at Fat Eddie's, and spend my Mondays teaching 6 - 18-year-olds life skills with St John Youth in New Brighton.

I currently hold my First Aid certificate, as well as Mental Health First Aid certificate, these qualifications help me teach the children of Burwood New Brighton Division proper First Aid for competitions and to use in their day-to-day lives.

Bartending has helped me sharpen my skills of thinking ahead, analysing a situation and managing a team from time to time when people are away sick. I am also looking at sitting my Duty Managers licsence soon, this is a challenging role that will help improve my skills in managing a team and taking responsibility for an environment.
