Resources - Building Institute Aotearoa
Podcast posted on 5/6/2025 under Tall Stories

In this Tall Stories podcast, Northern Region Committee member, Juliana Wilson, speaks with Simone Sharp, Director at Rubix, and Anntonina Savelio, Zero Harm Advisor at Hawkins. 

They discuss:

  • Growing up in Manurewa, South Auckland (something they happen to have in common).
  • Their shared experience of receiving Keystone Trust scholarships and how important the network of support from Keystone Trust has been to them both. 
  • How important mentors have been in their career and how they are both giving back to others through being a mentor. 
  • Pushing yourself further to try new things and take on new challenges in your work.
  • Learning something new on every project and using that experience on the next project.
  • Being proactive in your own career – not being afraid to make big decisions about your career or changing tack. 
  • Working on challenging projects and getting through communication challenges.

Listen for the full conversation. 

When recording Tall Stories, we travel around the motu to hear from our people across Aotearoa – this episode was recorded in Tāmaki | Auckland at the ProClima Hub.
