At school Bobby was well known for his friendly personality.
Combined with his enthusiasm and exemplary work ethic, Bobby was
tagged as an outstanding student. While achieving highly all round,
he excelled in Technology and Design and wanted to pursue higher
education in these subjects.
At the time that Bobby was awarded a First Foundation Scholarship,
Claire Stewart at Chevpac Machinery said "When we first met Bobby
we were impressed with his overall enthusiasm about all aspects of
his life - his studies, music, family and volunteer work. For such
a young man he seems very clear and realistic about his career
aims."
Bobby graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor of Architectural Studies
from The University of Auckland and in 2014 with
a Masters in Architecture (First Class Honours).
Bobby's effervescent personality continues and his passion for both
architecture and people is clear. He works at The Phobic Trust
where he has been Phone Line Manager and a senior volunteer for
several years. His maturity shines through in this role as he
counsels people with anxiety disorders. Bobby is also part of the
Auckland chapter of Architecture for Humanities.
He is also a current First Foundation Mentor.
