Our Volunteers – 2023 – Achieve2B | Tutukitia

Lashica Abeywickrama – Marketing Coordinator

Hi I am Lashica, the marketing coordinator for Achieve2B! i currently work as a Business Analyst – sales for a NZ brand. i am a foodie who loves cooking, reading and solving problems! Love working with numbers and strategy. Pleasure to be back to Achieve2B to realize dreams of kids with disabilities. Love to bring a smile to a person beyond their limitations. My passion for making pathways to let kids achieve made me come back to Achieve2B. I strongly believe that experiences enrich lives.

Annika Valladodid – Graphic Designer

My name is Annika, currently a student at Yoobee College studying web & graphic design. I absolutely love eating out and tasting new food around Auckland. I also spend my time learning about design techniques to improve my graphic design skills.

What attracted me about Achieve2b was about their exchange program for students with disabilities. After hearing about their stories was really inspiring and made them feel more confident about themselves. I’d love to see more students experiencing the same thing in the future.

Lucy Anthony – Marketing Assistant

Hey I’m Lucy! I am a journalism student and have previously studied tourism too. As a support worker, I was drawn to Achieve2B because I love working with people from all different walks of life. Travel is a huge passion of mine, so I am excited to be part of an organisation that encourages the experience of different cultures.

With heartfelt thanks, we acknowledge all our past volunteers.
