Aidan Perry

Graduate Consultant

My love of sport led me to study Sport and Recreation at Lincoln University, where I was fortunate enough to gain an internship as a consultant at RSL (Recreation, Sports and Leisure) in 2022; this led me to discover a passion for consultancy work.

My expertise

During my internship I created a feasibility report for a Kaikoura project and supported senior consultants on other feasibility assessments and projects. I developed a sporting timetable for the Selwyn Sports Centre to ensure smooth and efficient management for the facility and its activities. Throughout these, I  regularly participated in community and stakeholder engagements, presenting data, writing reports and developing relationships within the community.

 

My enthusiasm is bringing knowledge, passion and motivation to improve community wellbeing. I have refined leadership, organisational and communication skills through my commitments in sports captaincy, coaching hockey teams and being the youth grade  co-ordinator for his sports club. At Lincoln University I stood as President of the Recreation Society, creating networking events with sector professionals and Generate NZ.
